I tried to install windows 10 in one of my hardrives (disk2), but i couldnt do it. Instead, after the attempt, the win installer created some EFI partitions in my storage drives.

here is the list:

How can i remove those EFI partitions without mess with the content of disk0, disk1, disk4?

The disk3 is a nvme drive with the hackintosh stuff.

please, advise!
thanks!!!
 
Completely normal - The EFI partition is created automatically when you format the drive as GUID.
 
But before the installation those EFI partitions didn't exist, or my noob level is increasing? LOL

Well, at least, before this win install attempt, they weren't showing in clover startup and now they do, is there a reason? It shows beside the hackintosh boot, another two windows boot that i dont even know why they are there.

Boot Mac OS and mount the EFI partition of each drive with EFI Mounter.
If there is nothing in the partition then Win10 had nothing to do wit it. Pilgrim is correct that if you use Mac OS Disk Utility to format a drive GUID Mac HFS+ then it automatically creates the EFI partition.
