I never use the software that comes with a drive. I just installed a Samsung SSD as my new OS just last weekend and, after putting it in the PC, I simply went to Administrative Tools (then Computer Management and Storage) where it told me I had an uninitialized drive and asked me if I wanted to initialize it. I did and then it could be seen as an empty drive.
BTW - "OK with 0GB free available out of 0GB" doesn't make a whole lot of sense! It should say something like "256 GB free of 256 GB" instead.
