You don't need to decrease the partition you want to
get rid off - just delete it.

In Linux, as I said several times, there is a GUI partition editor
called gparted. This tool is very easy to use. Delete the unwanted
Linux partition with it, or shrink one of the partitions (even
though this is probably nonsense, but possible).

Not in the loader (because you haven't even installed it). It will
be seen in the installer of course. Next to the Linux partition,
there will be unallocated disk space ("free") which the installer
can then use.

I don't know why you want to keep a Linux on your hard disk which
is obviously not working. Keep the one that works, delete the
other one, and use the free disk space.
