Remove flash drive partition

My son recently got himself a 32GB flash drive.  He partitioned it with a 2GB NTFS partition and left the rest unallocated.  He went to remove the 2 GB partition and he can't.  I tried with the computer mgmt in Win 7 and I can't get it to go.  Is this too simple and I'm a dope?

Thanks,

Zero the drive
Either that or just replace the flash drive. They are very inexpensive.

I thought I closed this one out.
You did.

People can still comment in it even after it is closed.
Oh, I wasn't aware of that.  Very nice.
