The main issue is opening Diskpart, selecting the disk, and pressing clean to remove it. However, there are many other files on that disk that shouldn’t be deleted. You just need the EFI partition, which was created by Fedora. How can you do this? I need it gone completely. Also, when I checked the boot options, I found an Ubuntu entry in my UEFI—this is unusual since I’ve only used CentOS, Fedora, and Mint. Do you know how that could happen?

To eliminate the Ubuntu boot choice, add efibootmgr with root privileges and follow these steps. The command will display information like BootCurrent, Timeout, and BootOrder. Use -b to pick a boot entry, such as 0001 for the Hard Drive, and then run --delete-bootnum to remove it.
