This is a repost because I was locked out of my account after posting my original question, but I recently got my hands on an ESP8266 01S but was dismayed to be receiving this error:

After a little searching, I figured out that it may be an issue with the fact that I had run out of RAM on the board (Thing is, I hadn't actually saved anything onto it).

I was just wondering how I'd go about freeing space from the board, whether that be through using some kind of 3rd party tool like esptool, or whether there was a better way.

Thanks in advance,
