Reformat Time Machine backup drive back to an ordinary external hard drive

I was using external hard drive as Time Machine backup, but now I need to reformat it back to normal external hard drive as it was in beginning without choosing any backup disk right now. In System Preferences - Time Machine I have no option to choose "None disk".


I guess I need to use Disk Utility, does someone know how to reformat it correctly?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.4
