In other Unix-like operating systems under Xfce there is no such problem. Is it possible to solve the problem?

Removable Devices, Unselect "Other Devices"

i'm not sure if there's a more granular way to do this. Alternatively,
you could create a /boot/efi or /boot/msdos or similar and mount it at
boot so that xfce doesn't even try it. EFISYS = EFI System Partition
("ESP"). Unsure why it's identified in the "Removable Device"
category.

Thanks,
