Turn it off, press the power button to turn it on, immediately after turning it on, press the Option key. Keep holding it until you see a list of bootable drives. Select your Mac OS X partition and boot into Mac. Use the Startup pref pane to select your Mac OS X partition as your default partition. You can use Disk Utility or Boot Camp Assistant to remove the Windows 8 partition if you want.

Now just re-run the Boot Camp Assistant and that will give you the option to delete Windows 8 (or rather its partition).

Edit: Oops, I didn't see Intell already gave you that advise.
