I was installing ubuntu 16.04 from a bootable usb alongside Windows 10 and everything went well except that I forgot to remove my usb when restarting

Question

So I followed all the steps correctly except that when I finished installing Ubuntu, I forgot to remove the usb before restarting.

And now that I've restarted, every time I boot ubuntu, it asks me to install it again, and so I did, but now the cycle goes on.

What should I do now? remove ubuntu from my partrition?

Unplug the USB installer before rebooting. Instead of booting to the new install, you are booting to the Live USB each time you reboot.

Physically unplugging your USB device while the device is powered off should do the trick.
