I tried to use grub on my new linux install but it doesn't works, I tried systemd-boot instead and works perfectly, and I would like to use that. What is the correct way to start with a clean /boot directory? I have a lot of stuff from previous attempts.

The grub binary installs files to /boot and the esp, not the pacman package

can i just rm -r * inside of the folder and then regenerate the intramfs?
Rm and pacman -S linux and the ucode for your cpu
