Remove Ubuntu partition and follow the instructions below, Source: https://askubuntu.com/a/869888
This answer is for those with UEFI who have deleted the Ubuntu partitions before removing grub
You will be doing this from Windows 10. No bootable media required.
Where bootrec /fixmbr, bootsect /nt60 and the Ubuntu live with the boot-repair suggestions have failed, this has worked for me:
(This answer borrowed verbatim from here)
- Run a
cmd.exeprocess with administrator privileges - Run
diskpart - Type:
list diskthensel disk Xwhere X is the drive your boot files reside on - Type
list volto see all partitions (volumes) on the disk (the EFI volume will be formatted in FAT, others will be NTFS) - Select the EFI volume by typing:
sel vol Ywhere Y is theSYSTEMvolume (this is almost always the EFI partition) - For convenience, assign a drive letter by typing:
assign letter=Z:where Z is a free (unused) drive letter - Type
exitto leave disk part - While still in the
cmdprompt, type:Z:and hit enter, where Z was the drive letter you just created. - Type
dirto list directories on this mounted EFI partition - If you are in the right place, you should see a directory called
EFI - Type
cd EFIand thendirto list the child directories insideEFI - Type
rmdir /S ubuntuto delete the ubuntu boot directory
Assuming you only ever had two operating systems (Win 10 & Ubuntu) you should now be able to boot directly to Windows without hitting the black grub screen.
