As this is a fresh installation, why don't you just wipe everything linux
partitions and install again the way you want it.

Alternatively boot into a usb or live cd or installer, mount the volumes and
chroot into (there are many howtos)

I use something like following where SYSTEM is the target ppath

mount --make-unbindable -obind /proc/ $SYSTEM/proc/ && \
mount --make-unbindable -obind /dev/ $SYSTEM/dev/ && \
mount --make-unbindable -obind /dev/pts $SYSTEM/dev/pts && \
mount --make-unbindable -obind /run $SYSTEM/run && \
mount --make-unbindable -obind /sys $SYSTEM/sys/ && \

chroot $SYSTEM su -

when you are there reinstall grub and run update-grub

I hope this helps
