I had Ubuntu on my computer, but I don't use Ubuntu anymore.

I still have the Ubuntu option on my computer's boot menu in UEFI.

How do I delete this crappy useless boot option with Windows and without Linsucks?

Step 1
Insert Ubuntu live CD or Ubuntu Bootable USB. Restart and boot into Ubuntu live session.

Step 2
Open Terminal and type

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install efibootmgr

Step 3
Don’t close terminal type following command to remove bios boot menu entry.

sudo efibootmgr

you will able to see different menu entries.Look for menu entry with name ubuntu or linuxmint and see last number or character before * sign next to boot name.

For example: my bios boot menu entries were :

Boot000A* ubuntu

Or

Boot0009* linuxmint

Type in terminal to remove these entries (for me it is 9 for you it can be any other number) :

sudo efibootmgr –b  9  –B

if it is a alphabet

sudo efibootmgr  -b  A  –B

Done . Hooray !! :)

Type sudo efibootmgr -v in terminal to crosscheck.

If you don't see the entries Ubuntu or Linux Mint you have successfully removed them from boot menu.

download and install easyBCD non commercial version. Here is the link

Here you can edit the boot menu easily.

If you have installed ubuntu in a seperate ext4 parttion.. first delete that partition using windows(right click my computer and click manage) Then restart your computer using a windows7 DVD. use recovery options to fix MBR
