I'm using Alpha 3 branch. 4M flash.
Under File Manager, I cannot remove previously saved .bas files using the Delete button.
The filenames remain in the list and the file contents will still load in 'Edit'.
The only way I can clear up the list is to reflash.
Any ideas?

are you accessing locally or remotely?

Remote Access requires you to forward both ports 80 and 81 of your esp's local ip on your router to external port 80 otherwise buttons on your program will not work this is due to websockets.

If this does not help if you are accessing locally via Station Or AP mode let us know.

It is something that should be looked into however there was just an update tonight that fixed some bugs so you may wish to try this out and see if the problem was resolved.

Good Luck and chat back to let everyone know your status.

You might have luck with the following:

I have experienced trouble deleting files from the file manager too. I had a javascript file that kept coming back to haunt me. I was able to make it go away by clearing the cache of Chrome. ( see http://www.technipages.com/google-chrome-clear-cache ) for instructions on how to do this.

I also bring up a completely new Chrome window and press reset on my nodemcu. On my system the file finally disappeared for good!

Good luck!
