Thumbs up Zorin Update

I am trying to update Zorin but when I reach to the part to delete ext4 , I click on delete but I got the following message "Unable to delete /dev/sda 5 please unmount any logical partition having a number higher than 5
I don't know what that mean or how to correct it.

When I go to Gparted this are the readings:
Partition File System Size used unused flag
/dev /sda 1 Fat 16 31.35 mib 6.92 mib 24.43 mib diag
/dev /sda 2 ntfs 17.64 gib 9.60 gib 8.04 gib boot
/dev /sda 3 extended 10.46 gib - -
/dev /sda 5 ext 4 10.46 gib 5.56 gib 4.90 gib
/dev /sda 6 Linux-swap 510.0 mib -

if you want to update Zorin you need to open the update manager not gparted

You cant do anything on a partition thats mounted

You can watch videos on You Tube on how to use Gparted I did

Tech Republic > Let Zorin OS pick up where Windows XP left off
"Zorin OS goes out of its way to emulate Windows XP and even Windows 7"
(Zorin is one of the OS's I have on a USB key on my keychain).
