You can see from the attached image that there are 8 boot choices available. This isn’t a major issue. However, I no longer have CentOS or Manjaro installed on my machine. How can I remove those options? I should avoid making mistakes since this is my primary system.

Start your Linux system, then install efibootmgr if it isn't already present. This utility helps control the boot settings on your UEFI. After installation, launch a terminal and execute the command with no arguments to view your boot configuration. (Tip: You'll need root access; you can use sudo for commands if needed.) Running this will display details like BootCurrent, BootOrder, and the list of boot entries. If you wish to modify any entry—such as removing Boot0001—use sudo efibootmgr -b 0001 -B. Remember, the case matters: lowercase -b and uppercase -B. After making changes, restart sudo efibootmgr to refresh the boot list, as order numbers might update.
