I have installed ubuntu on my notebook, and there are 4 partitons in the hdd, all are NTFS, only one is ext4.

the problem is i deleted some hidden folders(in ubuntu which are not hidden, such as recyclebin and file information table folders) in ntfs partitions, now i need to reinstall the windows 7 back, i have a doubt that even windows will ever recognize those partitions again??

please clarify me.

Yes, If you just only delete some files.

You have two options:

  1. Run a file system check. This should repair all damage and preserve as many files as possible but there is a tiny chance that something goes wrong.
  2. Format the partition (this will erase all data on it but also correct all and any errors)
