Hello everyone, here is my problem

When I boot up my computer, I go straight into Grub 2. I know that if I type exit it will quit Grub 2. But for some reason it goes back into Grub 2, and I type the command in again and it exits again. At this point it does take me to the Windows (10) boot loader, which then let's me boot into Windows. Recently I thought enough was enough (I want to make my computer dual boot OS X and Windows), and decided to try and remove Grub 2 for good.

So, I then made a Windows recovery media. Booted into it and selected "repair Windows" or something similar. Then went into the advanced options and eventually I got to the console where I typed bootrec.exe /fixmbr and bootrec.exe /fixboot which both returned a "successful" message. But when I restarted my computer, minus my recovery media, Grub 2 appeared again but it was only one screen this time. I tried the same process as before to remove it; but the problem still persisted.

What previous happened

At some point last year, I decided to install Ubuntu. Which I successfully did, and all was well for a month; until I decided I really don't need Ubuntu. Then I went into Windows and deleted the Ubuntu folder. And I know I should of used some kind of uninstaller to remove Ubuntu but I hadn't used it in about a week. And since then Grub has been haunting my computer, it's literally like Ubuntu giving me the finger and say "you don't get rid of me that easily". And I was content Kathryn's haunting, and just keep typing in exit every time Grub raised its head.

I think it's somethings to do with my partitions. I have had a quick look and on the drive that I installed Ubuntu on, which also carries my Windows install, I can see three partitions. Two are unnamed, and one has a property called "EFI", so my guess is that's the heart of the problem. Unfortunately it won't let me touch it.., properly due to Windows being on the same drive.

Anyway, hope you can help Thanks for reading

So you deleted the the partitions of ubuntu os. But still have entry in the boot menu. No Problem,You can use EasyBCD to remove the boot option. It have free non-commercial license for personal use. The instructions to use the software are also available on the site.
