bootctl: Remove all installed versions of `systemd-boot` from the EFI system partition.
$ sudo bootctl remove
try on your machine

The command "sudo bootctl remove" is used to remove a boot entry from the bootloader.

When a computer starts up, the bootloader is responsible for loading the operating system. The "bootctl" command is a utility for managing the systemd-boot bootloader, which is commonly used in Linux systems.

By running "sudo bootctl remove", you are instructing the bootloader to remove a specific boot entry from its configuration. This can be useful if you no longer need a particular operating system or if you want to clean up the boot entries.

It's important to note that this command requires administrative privileges, hence the "sudo" prefix. You may be prompted to enter your password before the command is executed.
