I am dual booting with win8 and deleted the partition from it. After restarting I get the grub rescue prompt I tried to run Ubuntu off of a flashdrive and supergrub2 but neither worked and it went right back to rescue grub

That once happened to me. You need to put Windows 8 installation disc in your computer and start it. Then you go to repair system and to more options and select command prompt. Then, type the following commands: bootrec /WriteMbr, bootrec /Fixboot, bootrec /Fixmbr.

It will probably say that it couldn't find any windows systems but that's normal - it will be fixed. THIS WILL DELETE GRUB AND INSTALL WINDOWS BOOTLOADER!

Boot into win8 installation and you will find a repair option at lower left side of installation screen. Follow the ongoing instructions.
