@HughB Wow! after many many tries, I finally got into the WEB IDE and was able to delete files -- then the App Loader was able to connect and I am back up and running.
The "secret" may have been as simple as getting my host computer to "forget" the BLE device before trying to connect via the WEB IDE.... at least it connected after that...
