Booting into non existing Windows partition after deleting it with disk utility

Hi guys,

So yesterday I deleted my Windows 10 partition unfortunately with disk utility. My MacBook Pro now doesn't show the bootcamp partition anymore. So far, sor good.

But when I restarted my MacBook today it went directly into the windows partition and therefore inte windows recovery mode. When I press the option key I can however choose to boot into iOS and I also can see that the computer still thinks the Windows partition still exists.

How do I get rid of that?

Thanks

/Thomas

Mount the EFI partition (assuming you have a single-disk Mac with standard partition map).
- sudo diskutil mount disk0s1
In macOS Finder, check for the EFI partition and look for Microsoft directory
Remove it and empty Trash
Reboot and test
