Removing Extra rEFInd boot options

So I had to install rEFInd in order to dual boot linux + windows8 my MSI GE70 laptop.


But before that I used boot-repair to try fix, only after installing rEFInd did i find out that I should undo boot-repair. ooops


Anyway now I have a few extra options, and was curious which ones I could delete from the boot partition or which I should hide, and how to do that.


I have these options:



  • Linux (simplified, this is my Linux Mint install I can keep this)

  • EFI\refind\refind_x64.efi

  • EFI\Boot\BOOTX64.efi

  • Windows (simplified, this is my win8.1 install, I can keep this)


So basically I'm asking if I need the refind_x64.efi and BOOTx64.efi
