Unistall ubuntu on chromebook, most of hard drive space gone?
You just need to remove the Ubuntu partition if it still exists and expand the chrome partition to take up the whole disk. I have absolutely no experience with chromebooks, so I can't tell you how to do it from within chromeOS, but you can boot into either GParted or LinuxSecureRemix(Ubuntu variant) from a liveCD or USB and accomplish this using the GParted Partition Editor. It's very straightforward. See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair and/or http://sourceforge.net/projects/linux-secure/ It's too bad that you didn't enjoy your linux experience (I know chrome OS is technically linux... but not really...), I hope you give it another go some time.
Is it a good idea to buy a Chromebook and install Ubuntu on it?
I got a Chromebook Pixel 2013 for $200 (it was $1300 when new). ChromeOS is just mismatched on it; you can’t install anything that isn’t in the Google app store.I tried crouton and that’s a clever idea but now I’m dual booting with GalliumOS which is geared toward Chromebooks, mainly the cheap ones. I had to fiddle around with font sizes and screen resolution, but the buttons, touchpad, touch screen, and audio work. It’s a modified Xubuntu.I’ve live-booted a couple distros I had laying around, Manjaro, Mint, Ubuntu MATE, and they all run, but there’s always the fiddling with getting stuff to work.Figure on getting a SD card to put data on, unless you get a new one and want Google to keep it in the cloud for you. But a used CB is a great bang for the buck.
What are the advantages of installing Ubuntu on a Chromebook?
Ubuntu is not as limited as ChromeOS. You can install software locally on your computer rather than just using web apps. And Google doesn’t spy you any longer.ChromeOS:You can only use web apps.You can’t really use it offline in a productive way.You don’t need so much disk space because applications aren’t installed on your computer.Ubuntu:You can install applications on your own hardware.Is a bit more tricky to use.You can work offline.You’re more flexible in terms of configuration.

How do I add space to Ubuntu on a HP Chromebook 14 that's dual-booting Ubuntu and ChromeOS?
If you set up LVM when you installed Ubuntu and you aren't concerned with recovering any of the data out of the ChromeOS partition, you could easily reformat the ChromeOS partition and add it as an LVM physical volume, and then add it into your volume group and expand your logical volume and the filesystem that resides on it. This would eliminate ChromeOS and provide more space to Ubuntu which would meet your objectives.
