Widraz You don't really uninstall operating systems lol - you mount an ISO on a USB stick and boot from the stick, you can then overwrite your current install. Looks like there's something called "MultiWriter" in the Solus software center that may work.
You don't have to uninstall it, you'll have to use the whole disk. There's an option in the installer that essentialy says "Erase everything and use the whole disk for Solus" (don't remember the exact wording but it's there).
The installer will make the rest.
If you know what you're doing you could run Gparted from a live USB, do whatever you want with the disk, and then install to a blank slate

MultiWriter is for writing ISOs, not for formatting disks....
CorvusRuber Yes, I was saying they could use it to write an iso onto a USB stick so that they could overwrite their current install of Solus
Yes but the problem is when I boot the USB key with the Solus installer on it my computer doesn't launch the installer and just put me on the screen: reboot into firmware. How do I solve that please ?
Thanks for your answers
Widraz
Is this the Windows/Solus dual boot system that you mentioned in your other posts ?
If yes, is fast startup disabled ?
That thing can seriously mess up with new system installations.....
Last thing worth to mention: are you absolutely sure that your USB key has been properly set up and it's working as it should ?
It was a dual boot system. I deleted the Windows partition
CorvusRuber Yes I set it up with Rufus with the Solus ISO
CorvusRuber I deleted the Windows partition with Gparted on Solus
LVM?

And that left what on the disk ? We can't go on all day like this, describe in detail what you did, how you did it, on what (ie : hardware specs of your still unknown system) and then perhaps a solution could be found.
Otherwise, a neverending stream of one liner answers we'll get us nowhere.
CorvusRuber Here is what I did exactly step by step. I had Solus OS and Windows 10 in dual boot and I prefer Solus OS so I wanted to give the space of theWindows partition to Solus. So I launched Solus, opened Gparted and deleted the Windows partition and Gparted put the me that space as unallowed space. Before that I had prepared a USB device with the Solus ISO prepared on it with Rufus. In the BIOS I allowed USB boot, disabled secure boot and put the USB device as the first one to boot (before my HDD). My PC detects the USB device but just puts on the screen "reboot into firmware". Do you understand better what I did ?
