One approach might be to delete the partion and recreate it (with the
same UUID). This is described here
https://superuser.com/questions/660309/live-resize-of-a-gpt-partition-on-linux

Search for this:
sgdisk -d 1 -n 1:2048:0 -c 1: -u 1:E485F29F-A1F4-4953-9DD8-799EAEA0119B -t 1:0700 /dev/xvda

If we have the partition uuid and the start sector, we can recreate
the partition and both the GPT should be clean.
