That's the UEFI NVRam but honestly, I had no idea the OS needed to write data to it? TIL. I should add there's a few edge cases (like when you tell the OS to reboot directly to the firmware for example) but these instructions should be cleared after they're executed.

 

Clearing it out SHOULDN'T cause any ill affect.
