Do you mean recovery mode on Windows or on Ubuntu? – Mussnoon Dec 24 '10 at 23:24

Go to /etc/default/grub using sudo or an admin account.

Change GRUB_TIMEOUT=10 --> GRUB_TIMEOUT=0

Save

run as sudo or admin account update-grub

Reboot

This will remove the time that you need to wait for the grub menu to disappear. IF then you need to change to Recovery mode in some instance just press ESC when Linux starts (That is between when the Bios finishes loading all necessary stuff and the Operating Systema starts) and the grub menu will appear giving you the change to select the recovery mode.

So, we actually remove the time, not the grub!? – Behzadsh Dec 25 '10 at 17:46

IF you remove grub, TRUST ME, you will not be able to boot nothing. I am giving you a workable solution to your question "how can I remove or hide this" because if i tell you to delete the grub folder or anything to eliminate it, i rather give myself negative points in askubuntu. – Luis Alvarado Dec 25 '10 at 18:30
thanks, I understand what you mean :) – Behzadsh Dec 26 '10 at 7:07
