When I follow all of the steps to restore the Windows MBR and finish by turning of the PC, I power it back on and the grub menu is still there.
Is there anything I can do to fix this? Or am I ok to continue with the rest of the guide even though I'm still reaching the grub menu?

can you help me ? Before i installed Linux mint 19.1, i've created a partition for it. during installation, i forgot to go to 'something else' check button. then, i think the Linux is installed in the same partition as Windows but i couldnt see any program files of Linux on Windows. i dont want to mess with the C: drives but now i'm worried. it still run as usual but can i at least retrieve all linux program files and start over the steps by reinstalling it back. thank you. it will be much of a help from you 🙂

I would be more helpful to show how to add the free space as usable space for the Windows partition.

I used Parted Magic to do just that. -

I followed the steps to remove GRUB and restore Windows MBR. I believe they worked fine as I now boot direct to Windows. However, trying to delete the Linix Mint Partitions did not work. Right clicking on the Linux partition did nor bring up 'delete Volume'. What came up was a 'help' button. That suggested expanding the Windows partition, but when I tried that, the 'expand' option was grayed out. I really want to try this Linux system but need to find out what went wrong with the initial install. It sort of worked but its response tine was very slow. It seemed to take minutes before it would respond. All suggestions are welcome. Thanks

This is great provided you installed linux along side windows using a dual boot scheme. However, for those off us who didn't do so, and are now stuck with Linux as the only OS… kind of makes this guide less than useful. So far, there isn't anything at all that can tell us how to remove linux all together, and reinstall windows as the OS.

I am in the same position. There was only one program that I like and it only runs in Windows or IOS-X. I have my Linux Mint as the only operating system. I am still checking , But it looks like the ONLY option may be to purchase a new HD! If anybody has had success in deleting Linux please let me know!!
