Hello,
I removed the Windows partition via Disk Utility (I used Boot Camp Assistant to install Windows 10), and my disc shows 100% Macintosh HD. However, after a restart, my Mac opens a Windows error screen for some reason, and after another restart and holding option key to choose the system, I still have two to choose from – Mac and Windows.
How can I solve this issue without reinstalling everything? :/
I appreciate any help you can provide.

Windows should not be removed via Disk Utility. The correct method is Remove Windows from your Mac using Boot Camp - Apple Support.
Can you check if you have a Microsoft folder in the EFI partition? You will need to mount the EFI partition manually first. If you need detailed steps, please ask.
Thank you for help. :) I don't know what EFI partition is, I don't know how to find it. I did find an article regarding my problem, however. Do you think I should follow the steps they suggest?

Assuming your Mac has a single disk, start Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal, and run
sudo diskutil mount disk0s1
Post a screen shot similar to the one I have posted earlier. We do not want macOS to stop working. 😜
Excellent!
BTW, I have seen issues with the MacObserver steps, using Terminal commands for removal that are suggested can lead to catastrophic failures and the article does warn about such issues, but for many it may be too late.
You are a hero. Thank you so much for help! :D
