The easiest way to remove an entry in the Windows 7 Boot Configuration is to use msconfig. 

To launch msconfig:

1.  Click Start

2.  In the Search text box, type msconfig

3.  Launch msconfig by selecting it from the search results above the search text box.

After msconfig is launched:

1.  Go to the Boot tab

2.  Select the boot entry you want to delete.

3.  Click the Delete button and then click OK.

Make sure to be logged in to the Windows 7 partition you want to keep when performing these steps so you don't delete the good installation by mistake.

    I want to delete the boot into 'earlier version of windows' option and boot straight into Windows 7.

    It's a good method to delete the unused strings leaved by a non-Windows OS, because they cannot be deleted by msconfig utility. I recommend use /cleanup key too. The command will be:

    bcdedit /delete {34fgrt......} /cleanup
