You can toggle flag with a command.

Try the same command again and it will be removed.

If you are not comfortable with the command line may be gparted is better suited for you. Install it using

sudo apt-get install gparted

then open it

Once it is up and running - select the partition and then right click for "Manage Flags". After that you can select the flags accordingly.
