I am trying to uninstall Ubuntu by following these directions, but I have a question. Which partitions do I delete? I am assuming it is the three blank ones, but why would Ubuntu have three partitions? So I just wanted to make sure.

Unless you have installed a third operating system, these are your Ubuntu partitions:
Right-click to remove these partitions one-by-one, and then right-click the first (C:) to extend it across the unallocated space OR create a new partition in there.
diskpart
tool to get more info without booting a LiveCDYou can get some more information on the two 8 GB partitions from within Windows by using the diskpart
command:
diskpart
, you will get a prompt.select disk 0
, and then select part 3
Type detail part
, and you should get something like this:
Partition 3
Type : 82
Hidden: Yes
Active: No
Offset in Bytes: 442499072000
Type 82 is swap, while type 83 is regular Linux (ext4, etc.). Do the same for the fourth partition, with select part 4
. If either of those are NOT type 82/83, you should boot a LiveCD and investigate further with gParted as Eliah Kagan's answer recommends.
