no go. I was a live cd. But it DID Not free up the EVSA (EFI Variable Storage Area) Out of Space issue. I really in a efi app that can be run from the shell64 prompt that will trick the variable space reclaim function to engage the Fault Tolerant Write process and clean up the deleted space so its free again.
My Firmware is bit broken on roll backup and I can't re-flash forward until the space is freed up. The firmware capsule won't load. Thus it does not update on the automated reboot. Have tried DosFlash and ShellFlash64.efi. using /patch /cvar does run but that does nothing to reclaim the space. its just clears (deletes) the variables.
Could you help me out with method to reclaim the variable space?
