Hello, you've already set up Windows 11 and removed the Ubuntu partition. Now you aim to rearrange the boot sequence so Windows starts first without using a USB drive. In the BIOS settings, you can't directly pick the Windows Boot Manager. When you press Enter in the OS boot menu, Windows Boot Manager appears as priority 2 after Ubuntu. Adjusting the order doesn't save changes when you press Esc. You've tried using the BCDedit /delete command in the Win 11 admin terminal with the correct identifier for Ubuntu, but it isn't working because the command isn't valid. Someone has advice on this issue.

If it's a fresh Windows setup, begin again by removing all partitions and letting Windows initialize.
Currently, Windows was installed on a partition that was previously part of Ubuntu, so it must start from there unless you used a USB installation and adjusted the BIOS to make USB the first boot device. In that scenario, you could revert the changes.
Reinstall it but set the Windows disk as the primary boot device and utilize the boot menu to boot from the USB (on some motherboards this is called boot override).
