failure to install debian



Hello Friends!

I messed up my Debian so I'm trying re-install with a live USB, however it always fails. I get this message:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Boost.Python error in job "bootloader".

Command 'grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=Debian --force' returned non-zero exit status 1.

Installing for x86_64-efi platform. grub-install: warning: Cannot set EFI variable Boot0000. grub-install: warning: efivarfs_set_variable: writing to fd 7 failed: No space left on device. grub-install: warning: _efi_set_variable_mode: ops->set_variable() failed: No space left on device. grub-install: error: failed to register the EFI boot entry: No space left on device.


Traceback:

File "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/calamares/modules/bootloader/main.py", line 444, in run

    "--force"])

---------------------------------------------------------

I thought the problem was my live USB, but when I used another Debian live USB (that was proven to be a successful installer), 

I get the same result.

I did not resize the debian partitions, I merely reformatted it.  

Thank you very much for your time!
