that whould be better to ask on a windows forum. in general you do not need to remove anything, but reinstall the bootloader of windows. The next step would be to format (using windows) the partition previously used by linux or resize your windows partition.

Restore Windows boot loader on MBR 1st. Then double check/reboot many times when done. Then delete Linux partition next using Windows Disk manager tools. Then reboot again, and again and again, (just joking).

Fix the Windows Boot Loader

Linux has now been removed from your computer, but its boot loader persists. We’ll need to use a Windows installer disc to overwrite the Linux boot loader with the Windows boot loader.

If you don’t have a Windows installer disc lying around, you can create a Windows repair disc and use that instead. Follow our instructions to create a system repair disc in Windows 8 or create one in Windows 7.
