Reformatting My Passport (1TB) to ExFAT

On MacBook Pro with High Sierra OS, I want to reformat my MyPassport to ExFAT so I can place files there from my MAC and from my Windows 10. I found the instructions and am trying to follow them.

After Erasing My Passport drive, the instructions are to Partition the drive. When I select the drive and click Partition, it displays the name, the format is ExFAT and there is a size field. The size field is greyed out and the value shows as 1,000GB. The instructions say to click Partition but that action is greyed out. There is message text below the size field "This volume has 40.2 GB used space. You cannot remove the first volume on the disk. This volume cannot be resized.

Do I just skip this step? Is the drive ready to be used? I had only put 1 app on the drive and do not care that it is erased.
