    I have boot camp set up and I have a windows partition. Is there anyway to just delete that partition and have the space added to the Mac partition?

    I know I could do time machine and backup the mac partition, then wipe the drive and then use the time machine backup, but that's too much work.

    Yeah, just spotlight Boot Camp Assistant (or find it manually in Applications/Utilities) and select "Create/Remove a Windows partition" or something like that, and you should have a "Restore" button to delete that partition.
