Deleting the shares would leave you with an empty volume, the disk would still have formatted partitions. Looking at the release notes, the erase function appears to be in the 4.2.x firmware, not for the 4.1.x.
What I do myself is connect the drive to my PC (using an eSata->Sata cable and a power supply), and then delete the partitions with the Windows Disk Management. (you can also do that if you hook up the drive using a USB adapter).
