The boot entry for Arch might still be present in the motherboard NVRAM. OpenBSD uses the "removable" EFI loader location and this would be over-ridden by a specific NVRAM entry.

Load up an Arch live ISO image in UEFI mode and run this to list the NVRAM entries:
Code:
efibootmgr
Then use this to delete the Arch entry:
Code:
efibootmgr -b xxxx -B
Replace xxxx with the boot number assigned to Arch. Zero padding is not required.

You might also be able to delete boot entries from the firmware ("BIOS") options.

Arch does not support SecureBoot unless it is explicitly set up by the user.
