Bad partition deletion

Hi,
I have suppressed a partition I no longer needed, but now, as I boot, the boot loader is looking for the deleted partition to start it ("a start job is running for ...").
I have deleted the partition with graphical Gparted, updated the grub config-file and reloaded mkinitcpio, but it's still trying to start it.
I have also checked the partition's UUID, it's the one i've deleted
Thanks for your help
And i know i should have check how to delete a partition O:)

Re: Bad partition deletion

"a start job is running for ..." has nothing to do with your bootloader, it's from systemd trying to mount things in fstab (or specifically created mount units).
