    Hi there, my refind somehow shows itself in the boot menu and it seems the install script has created 2 files: EFI/Boot/bootx64.efi and EFI/refind/refind_x64.efi.

    Which one of these can I delete to remove that duplicate?

    The install script shouldn't create two copies of rEFInd, although this could happen in numerous other ways. To figure out which one to delete, you should examine the filename or description of the duplicate in the rEFInd menu. For instance, if the filename is EFI\refind\refind_x64.efi, then delete that one; but if it refers to a "fallback" boot loader, delete EFI/Boot/bootx64.efi (that's the fallback filename).
