My little brother accidentally made a BootCamp partition on my Mac; how do I get rid of it?

I left to get something, and my little brother got hold of my computer; after restarting it (and ever since then), after I log in there's a disk image called "BOOTCAMP" on my desktop. I don't know how to get rid of it, but I'd love to since it's taking up about 6 GB of space on my actual hard drive. How do I get rid of it? Thanks, your answers are always appreciated!

    Hi, If he has created a windows partition I think you can either

    1) Go into Boot Camp Assistant (find it by typing "Boot Camp Assistant" spotlight) and then you can delete it from there, which will restore your whole drive back to just Mac Partition.

    OR

    2)Go into Disk Utility, look for partition in left hand panel and then use erase option from there.

    Just make sure you are deleting the right partition and you do actually want to delete it (i.e check for contents on the partition)
