If you go to "manual partition the disk", you should see the different
partitions. You can then go to a partition, press enter, and you'll
see a menu asking you what to do. One of the points at the bottom is
"delete partition". Can you try if that works?

If you open a shell and run cfdisk, it should work, but there's
currently no menu for this. Someone else requested this recently,
though.

Are you sure firewire took up eth1 and not your Realtek Ethernet chip?
(or is that eth0, I guess?). Why would firewire appear as an eth
device? Is that some kind of firewire ethernet?
