So I have an Acer Aspire E5, laptop which came with Windows 10.
I installed Ubuntu 18 on it as Dual boot.
Now running out of diskspace I tried to remove Windows 10. However now I am unable to boot into Ubuntu.
Summary of what I did.
Used Ubuntu USB Live then,
Used Gparted / OSuninstaller to remove Windows 10. Deleted the Windows 10 partition and also EFI/boot partitions after having lots of problems. I used boot-repair to repair my boot. The paste-bin of log with an error "Unknown Boot-loader" is here:
boot-repair output (http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/HRFMdqZ4MQ/)
Finally my partitions looks like this as seen from GParted on live USB:

Now when I boot I get the grub options:

However at the end I get the following and am unable to boot:
"You are in emergency mode.."
Unable to boot , emergency mode (https://i.stack.imgur.com/XlyNI.jpg)
The good thing is that all my data is still there, which I can see from a live Ubuntu USB which mounts the laptop drive.
So I do not Windows but maybe removing the EFI/boot partition caused this issue. Also the boot-repair wants me to boot with UEFI mode (and not legacy). So can this be fixed? or do I need to buy a new drive, install Ubuntu on it and move my data?
Thanks!
