Remove FileVault Preboot from Preboot

Stephan Pringle Sunday, February 20, 2022

This demonstration is for Power Users to remove FileVault from Preboot when using the Clover Boot Manager to launch macOS on an unsupported (ie. Hackintosh) system. If you are not a Power User, you are encouraged to hide it instead by reconfiguring your config.plist manually or with the Clover Configurator app.

00:00 – Clover Bootloader.
01:10 – Open Terminal.
01:30 – Type in diskutil apfs deleteVolume Preboot
02:00 – If you prefer, you can clear the terminal or bash history.
02:15 – Restart macOS and confirm the changes.
