Glad I could help.  Did you delete it from your /boot/grub/grub.cfg file, or
just at boot time?  I think if you want it to stick you have to edit some
files in /etc/grub.d/ and run sudo update-grub.

Hopefully the list can give some more insight into why this problem happened
in the first place and if there's a 'cleaner' way to fix the problem.  But
for now, you've got a working system to play around with.  Have fun!
