I searched for it. They said find Ubuntu disk drive, and format it. I don't know Ubuntu disk drive.

Windows can't see a Ubuntu drive so boot into your Ubuntu system and open the "disks" program... this can tell you where Ubuntu is installed.

But Ubuntu will leave a grub behind, you need to have a MBR recovery disk if you wish to totally remove it.
