If grub is actually installed on the flash drive, then it isn't going to
care that there's no (or another) OS on the internal drive, unless you try
to select the entry for the non-existent OS.

otoh, if grub is on the internal drive (more usual), you won't be able to
boot at all if you remove the /boot directory.  So you'd need to do
a "grub-install" to the flash drive (before scrubbing the internal!).
