Uninstalling rEFInd from your Steam Deck is like telling your dog you're going on a walk and then not. But if you must, you'll likely dive into the terminal. Boot into your Steam Deck's Desktop Mode, open up Konsole or any terminal app, and type 'sudo bootctl remove'. This should remove rEFInd from your system boot. Remember to backup any important files cause it's better to be safe than sorry!
