I suspected that might be the case, but given the nature of what's stored there, mucking about with it could be bad (and indeed, others pointed out instances where systems were bricked by deleting the wrong thing).
Hi Jim, After reading all the comments in this discussion, I wondering if there is a bigger issue going on here. When I first saw your message, I did a df -h /sys/firmware/efi/efivars to see what mine was and found that the size is 192k. While I did not save the output the percent used was like 27% and I thought good, I've got plenty of room of room. Then I did a fwupdmgr get-updates and had one for the dbx for the MS issue. Then I did a fwupdmgr update and after that I did the df -h /sys/firmware/efi/efivars Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on efivarfs 192K 167K 21K 89% /sys/firmware/efi/efivars Now it is 89% Used with only 21K still available ! Here's a list of all the things that are > 1k in size: -rw-r--r-- root root 3/21/2024 13:15 1,438 SaSetup-72c5e28c-7783-43a1-8767-fad73fccafa4 -rw-r--r-- root root 3/21/2024 13:15 2,042 MokListRT-605dab50-e046-4300-abb6-3dd810dd8b23 -rw-r--r-- root root 3/21/2024 13:15 2,069 PchSetup-4570b7f1-ade8-4943-8dc3-406472842384 -rw-r--r-- root root 3/21/2024 13:15 3,400 Setup-ec87d643-eba4-4bb5-a1e5-3f3e36b20da9 -rw-r--r-- root root 3/21/2024 13:15 3,577 KEKDefault-8be4df61-93ca-11d2-aa0d-00e098032b8c -rw-r--r-- root root 3/21/2024 13:15 3,577 KEK-8be4df61-93ca-11d2-aa0d-00e098032b8c -rw-r--r-- root root 3/21/2024 13:15 3,714 BiosSettingMappingTableV2-b57086d5-c2e5-4654-9e3a-0b55830fbb32 -rw-r--r-- root root 3/21/2024 13:15 6,326 db-d719b2cb-3d3a-4596-a3bc-dad00e67656f -rw-r--r-- root root 3/21/2024 13:15 6,326 dbDefault-8be4df61-93ca-11d2-aa0d-00e098032b8c -rw-r--r-- root root 3/21/2024 13:15 10,448 dbxDefault-8be4df61-93ca-11d2-aa0d-00e098032b8c -rw-r--r-- root root 3/21/2024 13:15 17,964 dbx-d719b2cb-3d3a-4596-a3bc-dad00e67656f -rw-r--r-- root root 3/21/2024 13:15 23,216 VARSTORE_OCMR_SETTINGS_NAME-a3a3b874-7636-4182-ba1e-f52c584494e3 -rw-r--r-- root root 3/21/2024 13:15 33,481 StdDefaults-4599d26f-1a11-49b8-b91f-858745cff824 With the large jump in percent used, could there be an issue with fwupdmgr that is causing your issue ?
