Hi
You can use the idisk command to remove partitions. Pls find details in the link.

You have to use -w option to write this to disk. Be careful while doing this.

-R Remove all EFI partition headers and tables from the disk. This option also destroys the information contained in the MBR (master boot record). The -w option must be specified for information to be written to the disk

-w Enable write mode. By default idisk operates in read-only mode. To create and write partition information to the disk you must specify the -w option.
