Bazzite broke
Okay so I originally started using bazzite and it worked perfectly except games every single game would crash and I decided to go back to my windows boot and on the disk manager I may have deleted the storage it was using and it’s partition, I recently stated searching why mine was struggling so bad and found out asus laptops especially my strix g16 struggle because it uses intel instead of the nvidia gpu and I found there’s a fix for that, but here’s my problem, I tried redownloading it used multiple different USB’s and versions of bazzite and every time I get an error at “deployment started” I have secure boot off and when I went to go check I realized fedora was still a boot option so when I went to that it just to me to a grub terminal nothing else so I got a Linux mint usb and went to that terminal and used “sudo efibootmgr”
And saw fedora there so I used “sudo efibootmgr -b XXXX -B” (i used the numbers not x’s) and i removed it right and it seemed to be gone then I tried downloading Bazzite again and same error, and I checked… fedora and grub terminal still there and won’t go away. I’ve tried different partitions and different names and everything but I can’t go back to Bazzite. Does anyone know how to fix my issue?? (Installing, fixing my nvidia driver, and anything I need to do specifically for my strix)

For any one with my problem grab a bootable Linux usb (I used mint) and run sudo mount /dev/nvme0n1p1 /mnt then run ls /mnt/EFI and one of these commands based on what you see DO NOT DELETE MICROSOFT OR BOOT sudo rm -r /mnt/EFI/fedora
sudo rm -r /mnt/EFI/bazzite
sudo rm -r /mnt/EFI/grub then run sudo umount /mnt and it should be gone and your able to install again...
