Virtual Disk Service error: The operation is not supported by the object.

I had dual booted a linux operating system in my HDD and now as I have removed it, i want to delete all the partitions and want to merge the unallocated disk space to my D drive and for that I had to delete the partitions but it gives me an error when I try to delete them through diskpart and i want someone's help.

Hi, I'm Robinson, and I’m happy to help you today.
I know how frustrating this may be for you but I'll do my very best to help you.

Windows needs 4 partitions to work.
Partition 1: Recovery partition, 450MB - (WinRE)
Partition 2: EFI System, 100MB
Partition 3: Microsoft reserved partition, 16MB (not visible in Windows Disk Management)
Partition 4: Windows (size depends on the drive)

Looks like you cloned your Windows installation to another drive but did not clone all partitions.
Partitions 1,2, and 3 in the HDD are used by disk C to boot Windows and you can not remove them.

You can at this link how to recreate the UEFI partition.
