You may use BCDEdit after booting into Window PE in UEFI mode.
BOOTPE.iso (598.8 MB)
I use the above Windows PE.
Thanks for sharing that copy of BootPE.iso @Matthew Wai. I went looking for same yesterday and couldn't find an adware free source. Now it's safely ensconced on my Ventoy ISO drive:
Thanks again,

I want to delete a useless boot entry that doesn't point to anything. I used this program to identify it. However not sure what the string correlates to in the bcdedit output.
I have 3 legitimate boot entries. One Linux (1TB in the middle). The top one should be just one for Samsung 970 and the bottom should also be just one. I have 2 false entries.

what is this string from EAsyUEFI?
Hello @dictum,
This will explain how to find the entry to delete, and the command required toDelete
it . . .
> Option Two: Delete Boot Loader Entry on Boot Options Menu in Command Prompt
The command will be in the format >bcdedit /delete {identifier}
Substitute the {identifier} in the command with the correct identifier for the entry that you want toDelete
.
I hope this helps.

I am aware of the bcdedit /delete {identifier} command.
The question is, what is the correct identifier to use? I do not understand how extract the identifier from the bad boot entry, or how to identify the bad boot entry. I want to be 100% certain I am deleting the correct boot entry.
The EasyUEFI does not show the "identifier" but another string and as I inquired above, how do I correlate them?

which two entries in this list correlate to two bad entries in the boot menu?
