I have a Gigabyte motherboard. GA-Z77X-UD3H to be specific.
I recently installed Ubuntu and deleted it again, but it still shows up on the UEFI boot option even if I removed all hard drives connected to the motherboard.
So NO hard drives, even CD/DVDs, USB drives connected and I still see the Ubuntu boot option. Any ideas/suggestions?

Boot a Linux emergency disc in EFI mode (the Ubuntu installer in its "try before installing" mode should work). You can then use the
efibootmgr
utility to delete the unwanted entry. You'll use-v
to view the list of options and then a combination of-b
and-B
to eliminate the ones you don't want:Some EFIs provide the ability to do this in their own user interfaces, too, but details vary greatly from one to another.
