I recall having a similar problem and this worked last time I tried: efibootmgr -b 0002 --delete-bootnum Boot0002 where: -b 002 is the entry I want to modify. --delete-bootnum Boot0002 is what I want to do to it. I don't remember if specifying "Boot0002" was necessary, but it worked all the same. I guess you can try first: efibootmgr -b 0001 -B as already suggested and see if this does it. Also, before I delete a boot stub entry, e.g. 0002, I change the boot order to make sure it is not first: --bootorder 0003,0005,0010,0002 but I don't think it is necessary. -- Regards, Mick
