Samsung 860 500gb not allowing create drive or extend drive?

Hej! So once upon a time i made my SSD into 2 partitions. I then decided to delete the 2nd smaller partition in order to combine it into one whole. Now i am stuck.

I cannot extend the 1st partition(not enough space)

or

Allocate a drive to the second smaller one that i deleted(the size of the extent is less than the minimum)

Nothing in Samsungs Magician software gives me any "reset to factory" function.

Any help would be grand.

Start with converting it to Basic from Dynamic.

@ToddTheOdd Thanks for your reply. Both partitions were deleted and unallocated. Have changed to Basic. Alas the problem presists?

Try again with the program DiskGenius. It does have a merge function.

The free edition does not allow "Change to Basic". But after deleting the previous partitions i clicked on quick partition and it managed to create a partition that included the whole disk minus a new MDR table. Thanks for your help!!
