@Biswapriyo thanks for your help. I've just deleted the p8 (and other Arch-only partitions) and can successfully boot into Windows.

@Biswapriyo Thanks. I think I understand for Windows, because there is still the ESP in p1, but what about Arch? Why deleting ESP in p8 may not affect Arch? If I delete p8, grubx64.efi will disappear. Could you elaborate please? I'd like to understand why deleting ESP in p8 may not affect Arch :)

From the folder structure, I think you can go without GRUB. Deleting, ESP in p8 may not affect Arch nor Windows.

@Biswapriyo thanks for your comment. After deleting the partition nvme0n1p8 (and if I don't install Grub for now), should I always be able to boot into Windows? Actually, I would like to restore my system as it was when I booted it for the first time (only Windows) to be able to reinstall Arch cleanly after that.

My choice: I would delete the EFI in nvme0n1p8 > install GRUB in nvme0n1p1 > mount it as /boot > grub-install and grub-mkconfig can automatically detect WIndows bootloader.
