Uninstalled Linux Mint, un-partioned hard drive, why does Mint still show up when I boot up?

The title sums it up. I installed and un-partitioned, but then Linux Mint still shows up as an OS selection when I restart the Computer (clicking it does nothing).

And I know, some of you will be like "you deleted the wrong OS, Windows 7 should have been gone" and all that pro-Linux stuff.
