Use efibootmgr from a terminal to locate the entry. Identify the ID you wish to delete, then execute sudo efibootmgr -b number -B. If the target is Boot0001, run sudo efibootmgr -b 0001 -B to remove it.

During installation, efibootmgr displays: Ubuntu Windows Boot Manager / Windows Boot Manager, indicating just one Ubuntu entry. However, BIOS lists two options and both function properly during boot. The discrepancy arises because efibootmgr only recognizes one Ubuntu version. Update: Removing the Ubuntu entry still appears after a restart.

Imagine turning off the machine, disconnecting all storage devices, restarting without any connected drives, letting it report missing boot options, then powering it back on. I've seen this happen even after a clean format, because UEFI might not always refresh its records.

I just checked again on Ubuntu, but it’s not what I expected since the GRUB is present in both SDA and SDB. After mounting SDA2 and SBD2 and running `ls`, both showed "Boot Microsoft ubuntu." They now reside together in this VFAT partition. I’m unsure if there’s a simple method to remove only the Ubuntu version from it. Maybe I could try a Linux magic command to wipe this VFAT and reinstall the Windows Boot Loader, though I’m not very experienced.

I gave up!!! I tried the post here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/429610/u...bootloader Then followed the guide at https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/how-to-fix...-in-linux/ And after restarting, grub reinstalled itself on the 250GB SSD without Ubuntu again! GRUB on the right drive displayed "minimal bash" once more!!!

You need to turn off all drives except the one you wish to change. Windows and Linux usually add bootloaders in unexpected places when there are several drives available.
