My grub menu has 3 Fedora entries (two f-40, one f-39). There should only be 2: the f-40 entries. What I listed above from the "ls" commands are what appear to be the extra files. I've deleted from the output entries for the f-40 kernels and the memtest entries. The "rpm" output is for your information.
The questions:
1. Am I correct in assuming that I get rid of the extra files listed above?
2. If yes, should I do that by using the "rm" command, or would it be better to do it another way? If another way, how? (Would using the "rm" command mess up a database?)
3. What else (if anything) should I do to complete this clean-up properly?
Just to double check, is there a directory in /boot/efi named after your Machine ID (what’s in /etc/machine-id) with kernels and BLSCFG entries?

Apparently not.
I'm curious: What's the significance of that?
