Chasing Ghosts

You have successfully removed all windows partitions from your disks, but you have not yet removed all files added during your installation of Windows. What is left are files in your EFI partitions. The ghost is being caused by the file efi/boot/bootx64.efi stored in one of the EFI partitions.

1. Open a Terminal window and enter the following command.

   sudo diskutil mount /dev/disk0s1
   

2. From a Finder window, open the EFI disk. Next open the EFI folder. Remove any folders named Boot or Microsoft

3. When finished, enter the command below.

   sudo diskutil unmount /dev/disk0s1
   

4. Enter the following command.

   sudo diskutil mount /dev/disk1s1
   

5. From a Finder window, open the EFI disk. Next open the EFI folder. Remove any folders named Boot or Microsoft

6. When finished, enter the command below.

   sudo diskutil unmount /dev/disk1s1
   

If you booted to Recovery Mode or wish to just use a Terminal window, then enter the commands given below.

sudo  diskutil  mount  disk0s1
cd  /Volumes/EFI
rm  -fr  EFI/Windows
rm  -fr  EFI/Boot
cd  /
sudo  diskutil  unmount disk0s1
