Never format /boot/efi
To restore Windows Boot Manager use a bootable USB flashdrive that has your Windows version (Ex : 11) then press Shift + F10 and type these commands
diskpart
list vol
Find the EFI volume that's in FAT32 and around 200-300Mb
sel vol X (replace X by the volume number of your EFI)
assign letter=R (use another letter if used)
exit
bcdboot C:\Windows /s R: (change R to the other letter if you used another letter) /f UEFI

You are in linux
To restore Windows Boot Manager use a flashdrive with a Windows ISO flashed in it

Oh wait I kinda got mistaken there
Open notepad and find your windows disk and use that letter (may not be C)

Sometimes the Windows disk can be another letter than C:
