How to undo save()?

There's probably a trivial trick I'm not seeing, but I save()'d some stuff in flash and I'd like to erase it so Esprunio comes up "empty" at boot. How do I do that? (I know how to erase the relevant sector in flash on an esp8266, but I think there needs to be a Javascript way to do that.)

The doc for reset() seems to imply that function will clear out the program.

Confirmed, just tested reset(); it "undoes" the save(). :)

... And then save() after the reset().

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
