How to remove unnecessary boot entries for Linux

Guest
Go to solution Solved by Nayr438,

From your Linux Install open a Terminal

  • efibootmgr
    • you should get a output similiar to this
      • BootCurrent: 0000
        Timeout: 1 seconds
        BootOrder: 0000
        Boot0003* Arch Linux
    • For each of the entries you don't want
      • efibootmgr -b number_of_entry -B
        • replacing 'number_of_entry' with the Boot Number, in the instance above that would be '0003'

Hello,

I am experimenting with various Linux Distro's to see which is the best for my very bad pc and I have finally settled with Manjaro as it was the best looking and good performing OS. But there is a problem:-

My whole Boot menu is messed up the with names of the previous Oses I used. How can I fix this?
