Are you saying you don't want to use btrfs and want to switch back to ext4?

Sure you can reformat any partition.

FWIW, why not use the desired type from this list?

mkfs.btrfs     mkfs.ext3      mkfs.gfs2      mkfs.msdos mkfs.reiserfs
mkfs.cramfs    mkfs.ext4      mkfs.hfsplus   mkfs.nilfs2    mkfs.udf
mkfs.exfat     mkfs.f2fs      mkfs.jfs       mkfs.ntfs mkfs.vfat
mkfs.ext2      mkfs.fat       mkfs.minix     mkfs.ocfs2     mkfs.xfs
