I've recently installed ubuntu on a SSD, and would like to remove the old grub entries belonging to the ubuntu on the old HDD. I'd like to do one of the following:

  1. Remove the entry from grub (preferably without deleting /etc/grub.d/10_linux)
  2. Remove the files in the old HDD that tell the grub OS-prober that this is an OS.

Any help would be much appreciated.

If you aren't going to be booting from the old HDD, cd to the old HDD root partition and run:

sudo mv /boot /backup-boot

and then run 

sudo update-grub

This should prevent the old installation from being detected.
