I have it set up to show in the boot menu. I am going to uninstall it.
I use Revo Uninstaller (paid) and want to make sure if it removes the
boot info.
Here is what I have and what do I make sure it is removed or I have to
do it manually,

-------------------

Revo usually cleans things up like that. If not autoruns will let you at least stop it, and I thought it would also
delete items.

Thanks, finally found how within win 10 worked and it is also in win
11 someplace. Went to Aomei because less expensive than Macrium. Using
on 4 machines

Could you do it from "msconfig.exe" Boot tab ?
It has a Delete button.

That would not remove C:\boot though.

Note that, you CAN stage OS boot materials in C:\boot, so
check carefully before going on a "file delete spree" there :-)
That's how I recovered my Optiplex, was by adding some
stuff in one of those C:\boot dirs.

However, most of my installs, if there is a C:\boot,
Macrium put it there. It only seems to contain Macrium info.
Maybe I just haven't tried enough configurations, to see
the OS use it yet.

The option WAS in Macrium program

Before uninstalling Reflect, go into its menu to remove the boot-time
option. When added to the Windows boot menu, and rather than occupy a
partition for the bootloader, a .dat or .wim file can be specified.
That's an image file. First use whatever program added the boot entry
to remove it, and then check using bcdedit that the entry was removed.
In Reflect, go to Other Tasks menu -> Create Rescue Media. Under
"Select Device", choose "Windows Boot Media". Select the "Remove boot
media" option. That's the navpath for Reflect v8. You didn't mention
your version.

From what I see when running bcdedit.exe (no command-line args), and the
entry for Reflect's boot image, the .wim image file gets loaded into a
RAMdisk drive.

Been way too long since I last used Revo (I also have a paid version,
but it is ancient), but I wasn't removing programs with it that added
boot entries. From my recollection, Revo doesn't touch the BCD (boot
configuration data), especially since it is a binary database.

I would use bcdedit.exe to remove entries from the BCD database. Or use
msconfig.exe under the Boot tab to select a boot entry to delete it.
However, you cannot delete a boot entry for the currently active OS.
When in Windows, Reflect's WinPE image will not be running, so you can
delete it using msconfig.exe.

Also, since you have a payware version, make sure to disable Macrium
Image Guardian before you uninstall Reflect. Else, the stacked file I/O
driver it adds will prevent access to any .mrimg file which are your
backup files, if you keep them, but you won't be able to delete them,
either, if the stacked driver is still in force. The filetypes
protected are listed at https://www.macrium.com/mig.

You know Macrium Reflect is still free, right?
