fdisk (or "sudo fdisk", or "su -;fdisk") is your friend.
fdisk -l will tell you what disks and partitions are there. Find the disk which you want to "kill" (e.g. /dev/sdb)
fdisk /dev/sdb will enter fdisk for that disk, from here you can delete all partitions, and make new one. Use "?" for list of available commands.
