how to edit os boot manager selections?

[okmothman]

I have tried several different linux distros on this machine and think i have finally settled on the ones i want to use long term. My uefi boot manager comes up with a very long list. Is there a way to delete the distros i no longer have installed? I have read this can be done from linux using efibootmgr commands, but even as root it says this file is locked. I have no idea how to unlock a file that resides in nvram? Thanks for any advice, and apologies if this is in the wrong category- it seemed closest to my issue.

Hi

Surely the BIOS has a Restore to Defaults that would put it back to plain vanilla?

Unless you dont mean Boot Manager

BUT it is from an unknown publisher and may do more harm than good.

I recently did the restore bios settings to defaults on a Dell Latitude and it successfully cleared the boot manager. I tried the same thing on my Elitebook, rebooted, and returned to the same long list of boot selections. Either i did something wong or it doesn't work this way in HP?

Hi

End of.

EasyBCD will do it, but Windows only methinks.
