How to remove Ubuntu entries from UEFI [closed]

I ‘ve got an issue with my UEFI boot values. In the past I installed Ubuntu 14.10 LTS as a dual-boot system. It was working ok, until I decited to remove it. I deleted the Ubuntu partitions and merged them with my Windows partition. Everything is working fine, except when I check the Boot Menu inside the BIOS, there is still a value considering Ubuntu.

I followed this guide: https://askubuntu.com/questions/63610/how-do-i-remove-ubuntu-in-the-bios-boot-menu-uefi but the value is still remaining there. Is there a way to completeley remove it without loosing the values that point to my Windwows system.

My Laptop is a Lenovo G50-70

Thank you in advance!

Answer

Boot a live Linux cd using legacy, have a USB stick with you.

  1. Run lsblk to find out where your efi partition is

    JavaScript
  2. Mount that efi partition and your USB stick to 2 separate folders (replace sda1 with the path of your efi partition and sdb1 with the path of your USB.

    JavaScript
  3. Cd into the EFI folder of the efi partition

    JavaScript
  4. Move the folder “ubuntu” into the USB so you can restore it if something goes wrong

    JavaScript

Done!
