I've recently got all these entries stacked up on my boot options menu called EFI Shell on my motherboard. How do I get rid of these entries? i got about 6-8 entries i think at the moment from using BCD Re-create/repair boot files and when i had linux on my PC at the time. Can anyone help me? Thanks!

Mmmm, the only way I can think of if they are related to previous installs is to create a Linux live boot usb. From there you can mount your boot partition in gparted and delete the directories of the other boot files. At least, that's what I did to get rid of my GRUB files after I removed Linux from my dual boot. Are you by chance using an MSI motherboard?

Yea actually, A H81M-P33 motherboard. When i uninstalled linux, i used bcd to repair the boot, than i deleted the linux partition.

Download the archlinux image and stick it on a flash drive, there is an option to drop to UEFI shell 2.0

 

I haven't had much luck with the Tianocore repo, but I think that is what many other products use under the hood.

 

here are two popular alternatives found on stack overflow (I haven't tried them)
