I currently have a desktop computer with both Windows 10 and Ubuntu 16.04 on it. Windows 10 is on drive C: and Ubuntu is installed on a 100 GB partition on drive D:

I'm not happy with Ubuntu 16.04 on my desktop and have instead fully installed it on my laptop. So I am now looking at uninstalling it off the desktop computer.

However I am having issues doing this as I can't delete the Ubuntu GRUB boot and replace it with my the proper Windows one. I have tried repairing the Windows boot (through the bootrec /fixboot command and bootrec /fixMbr) but it doesn't seem to work and I feel it may be because Ubuntu is on a different drive so therefore so is GRUB.

Can anyone help or suggest how this can be fixed?

I hope that you didn't deleted ubuntu yet. You need first to open gparted (sudo apt-get install gparted) , go to your hard disk with windows and ubuntu , and delete boot flag from ubuntu partition and set it to windows. Now it will boot directly in windows. Now in Windows , you need to delete the ext4 partition (with ubuntu). For partition on windows see this tool : http://www.partition-tool.com/
