EFI disk partition is a misnomer for the 32bit VFAT-formatted
EFI System Partition, aka ESP
which normally at the outset was designed to mount in GNU/Linux installations to
/boot/efi/, before some fool notion came along to put kernels, initrds and other
detritus on it as well, to mushroom its space requirement, and mix together
files
from multiple entire operating systems, rather than just de minimus for
bootloader
IPL.
Each operating system should use its own directory in there. The only
thing in there (at least for Fedora) is grub, shim, and an extremely
minimal grub config that points to the main one, so again, no idea what
you're talking about.
Mostly, how "efivars showing 100% full" could have come about, including litter
polluting an ESP filesystem.
But that is wrong. The efivars is unrelated to the ESP filesystem other
than boot entries that could be pointing to bootloaders there.
Filling up the ESP with random files isn't going to affect the efivars.
