E74 — NVS_SAVED_STATE_DELETE_FAILED

Deleting the saved state entry from NVS failed.

What happens

The error is logged once per boot and the caller continues. The stale NVS entry remains and may be loaded on the next boot.

Possible causes

  • The NVS partition is corrupted and cannot process delete operations.
  • The entry did not exist in NVS, but the delete operation still returned an error.

How to fix

  1. Reboot the device — The stale state may be handled gracefully on the next boot and the delete retried.
  2. Erase NVS and reflash — A full flash erase removes all NVS entries including the stuck one.
  3. Contact support — Open an issue on GitHub if this appears consistently.
