Whenever I've had weird partitioning issues, like messing around with drive overlays or other resizing shenanigans, my fallback is to use a linux boot environment from USB/CD. From there I use dd to write zeroes to the physical disk. No reason to do the whole disk, just write a few tens of megabytes over it so you wipe out the start of the drive. Then your OS install will see it as completely unpartitioned and you can set it up however you want. Something like "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda" (where /dev/sda is your hard drive. You can get a list of devices with "fdisk -l" and you want the whole drive, not a partition so don't go /dev/sda1 or anything.) Having said all that, an easier option might be to boot it with DBAN and do the same thing, though. https://dban.org/ Same as above, no need to wipe the entire drive, just the first bit to kill all the partitioning info. Just to be clear, this will kill the disk in question - none of your partitions on it will work afterwards. You'll need to repartition and reload all your OSes.
