OK, you are about the desktop image, while I am about the server image
ubuntu-22.04.2-live-server-amd64.iso

But on the desktop installer, I also can't find how to delete a partition (to
repartition).


So I have to
 1. download desktop image
 2. boot desktop live system
 3. enter all the gory details for language/keyboard/network
 4. use gparted to re-partition
 5. learn that gparted is not able to create encrypted partitions
 6. boot desktop install system
 7. enter all the gory details for language/keyboard/network again
 8. recreate partition to mark them to be encrypted
 9. start install (so that encryption is actually created)
10. abort install
11. boot server image to do the real install
12. enter all the gory details for language/keyboard/network again

Is this the workflow that the creators of the new installer had in mind?

In find this quite ridiculous...
