Hi Jimmy,

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A Platform! Thank you for asking your question here.

The duplicate entries in GRUB on your Azure VM may be caused by multiple partitions or an outdated GRUB configuration. You can resolve this by following these steps:

Regenerate the GRUB configuration to reflect the current system state.

For Ubuntu/Debian-based systems:

sudo update-grub

For Red Hat/CentOS-based systems:

sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

Use the following commands to inspect your partitions and ensure there are no unexpected duplicates:

sudo fdisk -l  
sudo lsblk 

Verify that the VM is booting in the correct mode (UEFI or legacy) to avoid bootloader conflicts.
