bios bootmenu is all-over the place

[manic mango]

after deletion of os, there are still entries of them in the bios bootloader and are shown without names. trying to interact with them takes me back to the bios boot. any way to remove them?

[blissful folio]

Use the efibootmgr command to manually remove the boot entries

[manic mango]

is it in windows?

i no longer have a linux os

[blissful folio]

No it's part of the mint liveCD

flash a live disk

[manic mango]

i got it in ventoy, i can boot it from there

thanks

[blissful folio]

Run efibootmgr to get the boot number of the entry you want to remove then run efibootmgr -b (number) -B to delete them

[manic mango]

does it start from 0 or 1?

[blissful folio]

It lists the numbers I believe

[manic mango]

how can i get a list of the entries?

with their name?

[blissful folio]

Just run efibootmgr with no arguments

[manic mango]

alright, thanks!

It should look like this:

BootCurrent: 0004
BootNext: 0003
BootOrder: 0004,0000,0001,0002,0003
Timeout: 30 seconds
Boot0000* Diskette Drive(device:0)
Boot0001* CD-ROM Drive(device:FF)
Boot0002* Hard Drive(Device:80)/HD(Part1,Sig00112233)
Boot0003* PXE Boot: MAC(00D0B7C15D91)
Boot0004* Linux

user@shell$ efibootmgr -b 0004 -B```
