Actually the simplest way is to use the fdisk that comes with your Linux distro and then use it to remove your Linux partitions. Then the Windows/DOS fdisk or diskpart will handle the resultant blank drive.

BTDT, usually works, but not always. If you have a windows partition, created by a windows partitioning tool, and you leave it on the drive then let linux partition, format and install on the unused space, you'll never have a problem. If you let linux take over an entire drive and partion and format, you can have problems that no partitioning tool will solve if you try to later install windows back on the drive. Believe me, I've had it happen and a zero fill was the only way to get the drive windows compatible.
