I recently installed Linux Mint on my computer but decided I didn't like it, so I formatted my hard drive. However, I've discovered that Ubuntu still appears in the BIOS boot order. I'm wondering if there are any leftover system files, despite formatting, and how I can completely remove Ubuntu from the BIOS. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Your EFI partition may still be storing Ubuntu boot files even after formatting. You should check that partition and remove any leftover files. If you want to see the boot entries, you can use a command like 'ls /boot/efi' to see what's there.
It sounds like you might have some boot entries still hanging around in the EFI boot manager. You can use a tool called efibootmgr to see the current entries and remove the one for Ubuntu. Just make sure to do this from a terminal in Linux! Let me know if you need guidance on using it.
Formatting your drive doesn’t always clear the boot entries from the BIOS. Try running efibootmgr to list all boot entries. You should be able to remove Ubuntu from there. It's a straightforward process; just make sure you’re cautious with the commands.
