Code is too big to save to Flash.

Minification is on with Esprima offline. In the past there were no problems with uploading my code. Smthng went wrong after updating to 2v11 or updating IDE

If you click on the 'Storage' icon in the middle of the Web IDE screen, do you see any other files in Storage?

It might be that you already have other files in Storage that are stopping you having space to write your new code in?

You can do require("Storage").eraseAll() to ensure you totally wipe everything if needed

Vladimir in reply to @Gordon

require("Storage").eraseAll()

The problem was that there were no any files seen in the storage via IDE.
But as soon as I executed "eraseAll" command my Espruino became alive again. So, the storage was probably filled with some hidden trash due to some occasion.
Thanks for the help

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:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
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

> Quote text by starting lines with >

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

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
