Hi and Welcome !

Why do want to remove Grub? Are you planning to install other Linux distro or boot loader? There are a lot of ways to remove Grub. Boot up Fedora from Hard disk or use its LiveCD/USB and execute this command in Terminal :

su -
dd if=/dev/null of=/dev/sda bs=446 count=1

Above command will remove GRUB from MBR.

Why do want to remove Grub?

as i have only fedora, i want remove grub, I think is not important grub.

Are you planning to install other Linux distro or boot loader?

no, I have fedora and not any other operating system.
just remove grub.

su -
dd if=/dev/null of=/dev/sda1 ds=512 count=1 

# dd if=/dev/null of=/dev/sdX bs=446 count=1

That doesn't work. You need to use /dev/zero

forgive my English.
Thanks for your answer.

i love fedora.

If you remove GRUB, you won't be able to boot up Fedora. As I asked earlier, why do you want to remove GRUB?

You are executing wrong command.

su -
dd if=/dev/null of=/dev/sda bs=446 count=1
