Re: Can't Remove Ubuntu From Windows Boot Manager

I am fairly new to Ubuntu myself and so I installed Ubuntu on to my
Vista computer and removed it incorrectly. Naively I thought if I
install it again I could remove it correctly and remove it from Window
Boot Manager, not the case. After several Ubuntu and Window forums I
found this way to remove Ubuntu (or any OS from the Windows Boot
Manager) from the Windows Boot Manager without additional software.

- Click start
- Type: cmd
- Right-click cmd when it appears under Programs
- Click Run As Administrator

Once the prompt is up type bcdedit.exe
this will list all of the OS that start up in Windows Boot Manager

Once you have this list you use the command bcdedit.exe/delete file name
example: bcdedit.exe/delete {802d5e32-0784-11da-bd33-000476eba25f}


I believe in giving credit where it is due so here are the links I used:
