You have the directory and files, so it happened.

Yes.
Done.
I've been groping around in Fedora docs to see how to regenerate the grub config file.
If it's relevant, I found how to determine what firmware I have:
-----
-bash.14[entries]: [ -d /sys/firmware/efi ] && echo UEFI || echo BIOS
BIOS
-bash.15[entries]:
-----
I also know I do not have BTRFS.
From what I see in the Fedora doc, is this my next step:
"grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg"?
If no, what? ...or is grub menu clean-up done?
