If you are happy with ubuntu and you JUST want to delete the windows isntall do the following:

sudo gparted

This will open up the partition editor.
Look for the partition that has NTFS written next to it (if you are unsure take a screenshot and post it).

Hit delete, and apply.

If wubi is sitting on it, it is not going to work to well...
You will have to move wubi to a dedicated partition with LVPM or wubiguide script first.
It is easier just to install from CD and take over the disk
