Warning you will lose all your recordings
Choose menu/system/hdd control/format hdd
Select both partitions to format
A slider appears, drag it all the way to the right to reduce photo/music to minimum of 1 Gb. Select OK and confirm.
That's it

I think (though I maybe wrong) that you have to have at least 1 GB partition for music/photos whether you want it or not?

I think that was summarised on the post above.
