is used to delete boot entries at the uefi boot list, something like it was boot from c: or boot from d:
For some reason managing non-windows boot entries is not possible/limited from the UEFI BIOS itself.
Therefore you need to use efibootmgr to add/edit/remove those entries.
I have to delete Windows boot entry
`efibootmgr` without parameters shows UEFI boot entries like
Boot0000* Windows
Boot0001* Debian1
and then delete Windows boot entry
`efibootmgr -B -b Boot0000`
after that Debian booted just fine.
