I made a bootable USB using the Deepin Bootmaker and install Deepin on my laptop. When I enter the BIOS  setup, I see  Linpus Lite, UOS and Ubuntu entries. Why is this the case and can reduce down to a singular boot entry?

Did you ever install other Linux OS ? Like Ubuntu ? If so, and you have removed other OS totally, you can just delete other OS efi files under /boot/efi/, you may find Ubuntu directory.

Would you please show some screenshots or take photos?

What's the structure of /boot/efi ? Copy and paste the result of

sudo tree -L 3 /boot/efi

Then what's your bios boot menu looks like ? You can take photos to show this.

After a clear install, it also create three entries.

我这边也有同样的问题,efi分区中有ubuntu和uos或者deepin目录,

删除ubuntu、uos目录,只保留deepin目录,启动引导失败。

手动引导进入系统修复grub,此时efi分区中只有deepin目录,重启还是引导失败。

之后拷贝deepin目录到ubuntu目录,bios设置ubuntu,启动引导成功。

这是个遗留bug吧!
