Try to use the following steps i hope it will wok for you.

1. Open Disk Utility in OSX and you should see the un-deletable partition on the left
   
2. Click on that partition and click the erase tab at the top.
   
3. If this partition is for a new install of linux or windows, set the format to box to MS-DOS FAT.
   
4. Once it's done erasing, you can either delete the partition through the minus button in Disk Utility or edit it to fit your needs.
