[zivajogi]

Thank you so much, brother.
I've been looking for the solution for the whole night and I got in the morning. :)

[iamwoman]

I've been searching for this solution for 3 months with no success, YouTube search results lead me down a very frustrating path. Today by some odd chance I stumbled on this video, it's been the only video that helped me get rid of the grub menue. Thank you so much

[ushakiranmelasthri]

I love you.... .. I can't express my happiness.... I installed Kali Linux in my laptop which was given by my I used it for some days along with windows 10... But suddenly today.... It showed me grub I watched many videos how to fix.. it... I deleted Linux partitions but it does not completely deleted the Kali.... But after watching your video I have successfully deleted that Kali Linux... Now I can sleep Thanks a lot for

[sfeedit]

Out of all the videos I’ve watched, this is the only one that worked like magic…thanks, greatly appreciated.

[zweifunf]

finally i can sleep peacefuly now, man....

[stephaniewalcher]

... Thank you very much kind stranger!
I used to duo boot Linux Mint and decided to remove it leaving only Win 10. Deleted my Linux partitions from Win disk management and then kept running into the same issue "access denied" again and again when I tried to remove my Linux grub... No luck with bootsect /nt60 sys either...
The important difference for me was to access my ubuntu folder via disk > partition rather than disk > vol as suggested in many Linux forums... For some reason access was granted here. I am no expert but I hope this piece of info helps anyone out there that has a similar issue.
So for anyone that also has a "access denied" error with other tutorials, this one worked for me!

[samasnz]

Saved life, money and lots of uncountable things.

I kept seeing ubuntu as bootup option even after uninstalling and disk cleanup. But after following the steps as mentioned, it was removed. Thumbs up!!

[jmckennak]

Recommending that someone delete a partition without knowing for sure what it is is BAD.
