Rebooting into Windows after disabling Secure Boot. Bitlocker Recovery keys now required

I have my system setup to dual boot Windows 11 and Bazzite. I was trying to reboot into Windows so I could resize partitions and allocate more space towards bazzite. Now it's requiring recovery keys to boot into windows 11. I've tried enrolling keys via

ujust enroll-secure-boot-key

ujust enroll-secure-boot-key

and re-enabling secure boot, but it still hits me with the Bitlocker recovery keys screen.

I originally disabled secure boot since I read that it would need to be disabled to allow TDP controls in bazzite.

If it comes down to it, I don't mind just nuking the windows partition entirely to free up space for bazzite. I just don't want that bitlocker encryption to get in the way.

If you have the key for bitlocker, you can (and should) disable it for the drive

If you dont have it, youre better off nuking absolutely everything

You can always install bazzite and then make space for a windows install

I don't have it, I'm assuming that "absolutely everything" is referring to the windows side?

I was going to boot into gparted on usb to manage the bazzite partitions, i would be able to completely delete the windows partitions from there right?
