is there a way to avoid that a device will be included in the uefi database?

Hi
about creating image and restoring and booting via Usb stick , i have noticed that many devices are added to the uefi (bios) database

for example on my friend ‘s computer , i have seen several devices in the boot menu but not present in the computer (He plugged hard disks , usb sticks and external ssd ) , he does own these devices , he just plugged and after un plugged

I thought to disable uefi on in bios , but i guess the laptop will not boot correctly
thanks
