Took a risk and tried some things. Remove the windows BOOT0000 and got no space. Removed the CDROM one. and now getting. /sys/firmware/efi/efivars │ 384.0K │ 61.8K │ 317.2K │ ██ 16.1% │ efivarfs │ efivarfs
Have no ideal, how that made it go from 99.7% to 16.1%? My other dell notebook does list the CD Rom so not sure what on it is have it show the space used?? # efibootmgr BootCurrent: 0006 Timeout: 2 seconds BootOrder: 0006,0002 Boot0000* Windows Boot Manager HD(1,GPT,e4c3b478-65a3-419c-9bbc-72fd8089f807,0x800,0xfa000) /\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\bootmgfw.efi57494e444f57530001000000880 00000780000004200430044004f0042004a004500430054003d007b 00390064006500610038003600320063002d003500630064006400 2d0034006500370030002d0061006300630031002d006600330032 006200330034003400640034003700390035007d00000002000100 000010000000040000007fff0400 Boot0001* Windows Boot Manager HD(1,GPT,dc87929d-3847-4259-91fa-8f6dd53f780f,0x800,0x14500 0)/\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\bootmgfw.efi Boot0002* Linux Firmware Updater HD(1,GPT,96b31910-54bd-43ce-9164-775f9d2ea13d,0x800,0x12c0 00)/\EFI\fedora\fwupdx64.efi Boot0003* Fedora HD(2,GPT,edacc107-c81d-406a-bca5-f5d9b433a478,0x468b08,0xf0 00)/\EFI\fedora\shimx64.efi Boot0006* Fedora HD(1,GPT,96b31910-54bd-43ce-9164-775f9d2ea13d,0x800,0x12c0 00)/\EFI\fedora\shimx64.efi It did have windows at some point, so perhaps removing it might free space but it is showing. /sys/firmware/efi/efivars │ 384.0K │ 264.3K │ 114.7K │ █████████████▌ 68.8% │ efivarfs │ efivarfs So, am very confused with the efivars???
