What system has grub? For example, Fedora uses UUIDs, I think, in
grub2, though UUIDs aren't as constant as they're supposed to be. If you
are running gparted in say, Fedora, you can just, after removing the
partition, do grub2-mkconfig (in Fedora, in most other systems it's
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg (again the grub2 is a
Fedora-ism--most other distributions use /boot/grub instead of /boot/grub2
