These would have been added due to in installation of "os-prober" which
scanned your system and found two Operating Installs from a certain
fruit-based company.

If "os-prober" is de-installed, you should be able to run "update-grub2"
as root to regenerate your boot list without the probed entries.

If you wish to keep "os-prober" installed, but not use it, try removing
the executable bit from /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober (a dpkg-statoverride
entry will make that permanent).
