How do I delete a partiton and allocate the space to my main Ubuntu partition?
I have a partition table that looks like this in gparted:
I want to delete the /dev/sda6 partition and allocate the space to my main sda1 partition, and also allocate the unallocated space to it as well. How do I do this, please? Warning: I am a noob with linux!

Please note in the image, that /sda6 is inside /sda2. At the very least /sda2 will need to be shrunk, and probably moved to make the empty space contiguous with /sda1

Boot with live USB/DVD in gparted.
Since except the swap on 'sda5' no space is being used as 'sda6' is to be deleted. I would suggest that
swapoff -aand delete 'sda2'.resize 'sda1'.
Create new swap partition.
Then mount the Ubuntu partition.
sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
Find the UUID of Ubuntu and swap partitions.
sudo blkid -o full -s UUID
Edit /etc/fstab file
sudo gedit /mnt/etc/fstab
Change the UUID entries of "/" (Ubuntu) and swap partitionsin /etc/fstab
Save and close.
Reboot
