I have deleted my "/u" minidisk, so I know it is possible.  Rather than
trying to "change" its status, you might try to delete it, and then mark
it as "free space" and THEN make it swap space.  I wouldn't know about
swap space: I'm running a few small reentrant programs on a machine with
8 meg; I don't think I've swapped.

You may have to do this when booted from the "maintennance" diskette.
