      Whereas it is rather helpful that the scripts / filesystem survive a firmware update/upgrade - is there a preferred/suggested way to (e.g. using esptool.py with what command line?) fully erase all the data on a WipY / xxPy and really "start from zero" with programming firmware?

      best regards
      Ralf

        @ubiq_01, you can connect to your device and perform:

        import os
        os.mkfs('/flash')
        

        That will format the internal storage to it's factory state. Hope it helps ;)
