Somewhere Clover Installer is getting info from the previous install or looking at current config, that's where my boot folder is coming from. When you choose customize in the installer you see it has already picked up current config and unless you make changes it installs the current working config. I'm thinking I don't want to change what already works well.
Test:
If I manually remove the boot folder the machine boots fine providing that at the boot menu I select "Clover Boot Options" and add to boot menu. (which has always been hit or miss for me since ver.896) That adds the boot entry to the bios and points it to EFI/Clover/Cloverx64.efi as intended. But by default the UEFI bios looks for EFI/Boot/Bootx64.efi. The Cloverx64.efi and Bootx64.efi are the same file so if the Boot folder exist with Bootx64.efi in it, there is no need to add Clover to boot menu. I'd rather not bother with adding it and just point the bios to the UEFI:boot drive.

Once I add Clover to boot menu and running without the EFI/Boot Folder, upgrading Clover no longer creates the Boot folder.Installed several times and there is no EFI/Boot Folder. If convenient, attach your Clover-1979 installer or binaries.
