One possible solution: Highlight the entire 6/8 section of music. Change the time to 1/4. Re-highlight the the new 1/4 section where the 6/8 measure actually starts, and change the time signature to 6/8. You may need to experiment with checking and unchecking the "rebar music" box for this to work the way you want it.
You can then delete the 1/4 bar using the selection tool if necessary.
