I wish to delete a partition of Linux Mint. I am familiar with Gparted and using a live cd, but it is locked. It says extended /dev/sda2. Here is a screenshot of my partitions:
Thank you all for your help in advance.

If it's THE extended partition, you can't delete it without removing all the logical partitions in it.
You need to unmount all partitions in the extended partition that may be mounted.
In your case, you need to unmount swap partition. Right-click on it and choose unmount. Then proceed.
2You can't delete or move partitions that are mounted. If you don't want to delete a system partition, where your working system is installed, then right-click it and choose "unmount". If you want to delete a system partition, then you will have to boot from some other drive, like LiveCD.
If your linux Mint is on sda6 prtition, then just delete it.
