The MBR contains 2 things of interest here: a data structure describing the partition layout, and the 1st-stage booter code. When you rig a system with GRUB that 1st-stage booter code gets overwritten with GRUB's 1st-stage. On a "dual boot" system that 1st-stage code is rigged to blindly assume it can find its subsequent stages elsewhere in the disk, typically in one of the Linux partitions. By deleting the Linux partitions you pulled the rug out from under GRUB's 1st-stage which is still present in the MBR (as is the intact partition layout info) so, as mentioned already, replacing that GRUB code in the MBR with the Windows booter is what's wanted, and that's accomplished with a Windows "Fix MBR" maneuver, an exercise left to the reader...

The MBR (Master Boot Record) is a separate little bit on Hard Disk.

You need to "Repair the MBR"
