  I can do one better:
I somehow messed up so bad once that it created 30 layers of EFI folders
within itself
 The path was: /boot/EFI/EFI/EFI/EFI/EFI/EFI/EFI....
Holding down tab to get through all of them, there wasn't anything in
the bottom folder..

   Once saw something much like that, but after a few layers
   it was CIRCULAR ... /boot/EFI/EFI/EFI/EFI/boot/EFI/(and so
   forth). The GUI file manager could not cope - something
   about the way it parsed paths - had to dig in using
   terminal utils, one 'cd' at a time.
