Can I safely remove AOMEI OneKey Recovery?
I recently bought a Dell Latitude 7430, which came with 'AOMEI OneKey Recovery' pre-installed.
I was going to uninstall it but it showed:
"AOMEI OneKey Recovery is being uninstalled, and the un-installation program does not delete the recovery partition, but for the one-key boot environment, you can select to delete it. Would you like to delete the one-key boot environment?"
I halted removing the program at this stage, in case it stopped me booting or something similar.
Later, I was having a random look through the UEFI and I noticed in the Boot menu (I believe it was called), was a 'Boot Sequence' section that listed:
1. AOMEI OneKey Recovery
2. Windows Boot Manager
3. UEFI PC SN530 NVMe WDC 512GB
4. UEFI HTTPs Boot
Clearly this program is not just a basic Windows program if it is mentioned in the UEFI and is top of the boot sequence list.
If I were to knock it from top down to the bottom in the boot sequence, then uninstall the program from Windows, would I get any issues?

AOMEI is neither Dell nor Microsoft product. Since there are many Dell systems running fine without AOMEI Onekey Recovery as boot option, I guess yours should not get any issue after uninstalling AOMEI.

@Chino de Oro The software came pre-installed and is mentioned in the UEFI itself, so I wanted to make sure.

Any third party utility can be uninstalled and it should not hinder the system with factory installed software.
