I spent a whole day looking for the solution, I can’t find it

Edit from @ludovic : I fixed the very ugly syntax

You need to free up the space in EFI partition /boot/efi/ before you can apply updates.
What’s the output of this command in dom0?

sudo bash -c "du -sh /boot/efi/*/*/*"

I have these in return, and I see that there are remnants of an old system, note I only have windows in dualboot with qubes os,

If you don’t have fedora or ubuntu installed in dualboot then you can safely remove them to free up the space:
sudo rm -rf /boot/efi/EFI/fedora /boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu
And then try to update dom0 again.
