Hello!
I seem to be having an issue with clr-boot manager updating due to a full EFI partition.
after getting error message that updating clr-boot manager failed. I got the following error message:
[FATAL] cbm (../src/bootman/kernel.c:L732): Failed to install initrd /boot/EFI/com.solus-project/initrd-com.solus-project.lts.6.12.58-274: No space left on device
[FATAL] cbm (../src/bootman/update.c:L250): Failed to install default-lts kernel: ///usr/lib/kernel/com.solus-project.lts.6.12.58-274
so I invastigated and found out that my EFI partition is indeed full, probably because it contains at least 14 different Kernels. clr-boot-manager list-kernels gives following output:
com.solus-project.current.6.17.8-324
com.solus-project.current.6.16.12-323
com.solus-project.current.6.16.5-322
com.solus-project.current.6.15.6-321
com.solus-project.current.6.14.11-320
* com.solus-project.current.6.14.6-319
com.solus-project.current.6.14.4-318
com.solus-project.lts.6.12.58-274
com.solus-project.lts.6.12.52-273
com.solus-project.lts.6.12.45-272
com.solus-project.lts.6.12.37-271
com.solus-project.lts.6.12.34-270
com.solus-project.lts.6.12.28-269
com.solus-project.lts.5.15.144-226
I have read that solus should delete most of these automatically when updating. Is there any reason why it does not do so? (is it because i am dual booting?) Could anyone help me clear my partition safely? I am not a super proficient user and fairly scared about deleting anything in /boot directory 🙂
Thank you in advance for any help!

I have edited your post to have the code output in a code fence.
Please always use the code button or manually add 3 backticks before and after code blocks
This makes it a lot more readable. Thanks.
