How to remove broken, *newer* boot entry?

Help
1

I’ve run nixos-rebuild switch --upgrade, and that broke Vivaldi for me (some pages just die for whatever reason). So I rebooted into the previous config, pre-upgrade, and run /run/current-system/bin/switch-to-configuration boot to make it current.

Now when I boot, the previous configuration is selected as a default. However, the newer, broken configuration is still there, and gives me aesthetics pain :slight_smile: How do I remove it from boot menu?
