You need either Grub or Lilo to boot your system even if you just have one
Linux flavor installed and aren't dual booting. Grub is a lot more modern
and has significant advantages.

To get rid of it, all you need to do is replace the master boot record at
the beginning of your disk with a new one. (How to do this exactly depends
on what you're replacing it with.)
