I recently created a backup of my BIOS settings and stored them on an SSD (only allowed, not even my USB drive). The file I saved has a name I never found on my PC, and I’m trying to delete it because the name seems incorrect. However, the BIOS doesn’t offer options to rename or remove it, and even with hidden folders visible, there’s no such file present.

It seems the settings are likely stored on a FAT32 drive. Your backup might be placed on the EFI partition—try accessing it and verifying.

Your USB drive uses exFAT format, which supports larger files and more devices compared to Fat32. Only exFAT or NTFS formats are compatible with this type of storage.

You're asking about compatibility issues. The manual specifies the required filesystem for the board.

It may have been saved to an EFI partition or other hidden partitions that Windows 10 generates. Consider using a FAT32 flash drive, as suggested earlier. Use a compact stick (4-8GB) for this task, or set up a smaller partition on your larger stick.
