Hi,

I upgraded my laptop to Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS from 18.04 LTS. Many things seem OK but now GRUB text is too small and tough to see. How can I correct it ?

Do you dual boot? The default is to boot the latest available kernel which is advisable

This is a laptop with single Ubuntu LTS OS (no other one) . GRUB version is 2.04 . I removed old kernels but still I get tiny texts in GRUB.

Do you have a 4K screen?
There are both gfxsettings for screen size & font settings in grub.
But grub tries to use screen settings from installed system.
