I'm not quite sure what you mean. Mer isn't installed into Maemo, so you can simply remove or reformat the drive that Mer is on and you can use that drive for whatever you'd like after that.
You can remove the Mer installer from Maemo if you go into the Application Manager and remove it as you would any program.
You can remove the customized bootmenu by downloading the latest Maemo and flasher-3.0 utility and then flashing the original initfs to the tablet. To do this, make sure that flasher-3.0 is executable (you can type "chmod a+x flasher-3.0" from terminal) shut down your tablet and then hold down the home button while hitting the power button on the tablet until a little USB icon appears in the top right hand corner of the tablets screen. Then type this command in the terminal of linux (from the same directory that flasher-3.0 is downloaded to): sudo ./flasher-3.0 -f -F RX-44_DIABLO_5.2008.43-7_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin --flash-only=initfs -R

ok, I think I screwed up somewhere.
I flashed my N810 which had Mer installed but now my Internal memory total size is still 196.9MB, same as when Mer was there.
How can I get back my 2Gb internal memory?

I noticed the instructions you gave for removing the customized bootmenu are for a Linux desktop. Since I have a Windows desktop, would I be able to just reflash the N810 and restore a pre-Mer backup to get my data back (without restoring the bootmenu)?

Before doing a reflash, backup your data apps and things with the Backup/Restore application in the Settings Menu. Also, make sure anything you don't want being erased, like important documents, music and stuff are all saved on the external card.

Since I can't live without bootmenu so I never looked into uninstalling it but, if I had to I always thought I could do that from the app manager. Would it not uninstall that way? I don't remember the last time reflashed since that boot only to install mer and edit bootmenu. Otherwise, I don't mess with it.
