How to remove "Ubuntu" from Boot Menu after deleting Ubuntu partition in Windows 10 (Dual Boot)

I've successfully executed this solution below to my problem:

  1. In BIOS, change Boot Sequence to allow booting from USB (containing Ubuntu)

  2. In GRUB, select Try Ubuntu without installing

  3. Once in Ubuntu, press Ctrl+Alt+T to bring up Terminal

  4. Type sudo efibootmgr to list all the entries in Boot Menu. If the command doesn't exist, then do sudo apt install efibootmgr.

  5. Find Ubuntu in the menu and note down its boot number e.g. 1 in Boot0001

  6. Type sudo efibootmgr -b <boot number> -B to delete the entry from Boot Menu. E.g. sudo efibootmgr -b 1 -B

-b: modify boot number -B: delete boot number

There after, all I did was to switch Windows Boot Manager back up to the top of the Boot Menu > go back to Windows 10 > Create and format hard disk partitions and extended my Windows C:\ Drive partition to merge with the free space where it came from my deleted Ubuntu drive.

Open the Command Prompt (Admin) ( shown in the options image above ). Follow these commands-> Note the line after ‘#’ is just to explain the command
