That’s a good question. No, you are not deleting or reformatting the partition sda2. You are just removing the pointer for sda2 in the partition tables list. By removing /dev/sda2 from fdisk, you are removing metadata. It’s like detaching the partition.

You said “We have to delete /dev/sda2 first. Type fdisk /dev/sda first. At the prompt type p to see the parititions.” if we delete or format sda2, data will be lost?
