Hi,
I'm new to the forum and this is my first post. Hopefully I got the right forum. Apologize for the wordiness. Tried to give all info possible.
During installation of a new Linux distro I noticed that multiple distributions I had previously installed were remaining in the BIOS. I had no intention to run multiple distributions. This didn't appear to be distribution specific however the first distribution that was put on the machine was Ubuntu 18.04 which was eventually upgraded to Ubuntu 19.04 I then tried Debian 10 and Fedora 30. Those two remain, not sure which version of Ubuntu is still showing in BIO.
Things I tried are:
1. During installaton of new distribution I used the full disk during installation. Disk was formatted and data erased per installation process.
2. While in a distribution I tried format and delete the partitions through GNOME Disks
Both attempts ended the same. The original distributions still showing on BIOS. Concern is, since it is still showing in BIOS is this taking up space on the partition? Also, will it conflict with a different distribution? How would I go about removing from the BIOS previous distributions?
