Hey gang

I have some EFI partition weirdiness going on.
Obviously my boot drive has a EFI partition with clover on it, all is good there.

I also have 5 other internal drives, for some reason each one of them has there own EFI partition. I guess because of GUID.
3 of the drives are in a RAID.
In each one of these drives has files in there:
EFI/Apple/Firmware on each of them
One has Apple/Updaters/Multipdater (this folder was updated yesterday, I think when I applied the latest security update)
(but why is it using this folder and not the EFI off the boot drive?)

One drive has nothing.

I have a feeling they all should be blank.
Can I erase the contents of these EFI's?
And does having files in there seem like some confusion is going on with my bootloader setup?
 
I guess no one has this issue or knows about it.

Please check your EFI partitions and see if you have other files there on other disks then your boot disk.
