I made an horrible mistake (end of the week, tired, ...): I wrote a dumb init file like that

Code: Select allprint("-- Enter deep sleep mode")
node.dsleep(10*1000*1000)

...yes I know this is bad, but now, I have two problems:

(1) BIG problem: how do I trash my init file in this infinite loop?
(2) small problem: my ESP stays in deep sleep mode, through my pins GPIO16 and RST are linked.

Is there a solution?

Disconect power should stop current sketch - flash mode should stop it running again.

What do you mean exaclty by "flash" ?
I just did:
1- power off
2- gpio0 LOW
3- power on
4- reset
