This is what it looks like after you are done, now hit the apply button lower right corner of Disk Utility.

Confirm you want to make the Macintosh HD partition larger.

Here is what Disk Utility should look like once you have deleted the Windows Partition.

Once you authenticate with ctlocal; the process will take about 20-30 min depending on machine speed. The advantage to this is that it does not depend on network or server speed you can do as many systems as you like once the file is copied to the desktop.
