I was running Windows 10 along with a small partition for Ubuntu on my Acer Aspire (V Nitro) VN7-592G with a Crucial SSD and a Toshiba HDD.
I didn't use this partition and erased it some time ago, I had still the option to boot to ''ubuntu'' in the F12 menu of my pc.
Today I installed Manjaro on the whole drive, creating a new partition table and all first, but the Ubuntu option is still there.
I even tried deleting it following How do I remove unneccessary boot device options? but it still shows.
How is that possible and how can I delete it?
If I get this correctly, you are trying to clean your hard drive completely? If yes, the simplest way is to use Diskpart. Do you have only a single drive? – Natsu Kage – 2020-01-30T19:31:27.413
1I have 2, I disconnected the second and the ubuntu tag shows, I swapped the drives with a blank one (no operating system installed on this second drive) and this tag still shows (even though ubuntu has never touched this drive). – user605734 MBS – 2020-01-30T19:38:01.223
Try using bootice: https://bootice.en.lo4d.com/windows This means reinstallation w10 though.

sudo efibootmgr
? – lx07 – 2020-01-30T20:07:12.2131when I execute sudo efibootmgr a list with the manjaro installation, ubuntu ¿?, and cd and usb boot options.
When I delete it and run the command again it doesn't show until I restart. – user605734 MBS – 2020-01-30T20:35:51.890
