Yes it is safe to delete the no longer needed files in your /boot/efi/EFI directory make sure you leave the BOOT directory there if you are thinking this is one you can get rid of. It contains the default fallback boot loader copy and without it on my system drive nothing will show up as boot able on a drive in the one time boot menu when I clone the drive if not original machine installed on. On the machine where installed the distributions that use this broken method will use the entry in the EFI firmware they put there, trying to boot on another machine with cloned drive without the BOOT directory with its boot loader copy present not a hope in hell it will find it..Hi,
I have folders in the MBR for OSes that are no longer installed.
I wanted to make sure that it is safe to simply delete those folders.
Thank You!
