Better you take the first option which is default.
this will lead you to a question to check your media CD.You can either check or skip this step.

then in the next page you can see drives in your harddisk(s).
Select the drive you have freed up for installing Fedora.
Then click delete.
This will delete the existing partion in that drive.
