Easiest way is to use your favorite disk management tool to reformat the drive and then boot the Win8 installer.
 
But I want to remove it form boot if that is possible because the reason I say that is I boot up my computer and it gets to the apple loading screen and after a while it has a circle with a slash in the middle
(Ø) and i tried everything to fix it so I'm making the switch to windows 8

Were you able to successfully install OS X at some time in the past and get to desktop?
Did you then enable trim and later do an update? That is the common cause of that slashed circle at boot - it indicates an unsigned kext or that a signed kext has been altered.

Do you have a TimeMachine backup or a bootable clone to restore from?
Do you still have your UniBeast USB installer?
