Looks like the application flash area could be wiped using the code here https://github.com/beegee-tokyo/WisBlock-API/blob/main/src/flash-nrf52.cpp

I verified that installing the AT api does wipe the meshtastic application flash and reset the device

I think this fixed in 1.2.58

So I flashed the firmware-t-echo-2.0.6.97fd5cf.uf2 to my T-ECHO because meshtastic was not working after Upgrading and it is still not working, some weird settings and such.
But I could set a custom name and flashing the reset file does nothing to that data.
Yes the T-ECHO does not boot anymore, but after flashing the current firmware back to it, the settings (custom name) are back again an my T-Echo is inoperable.
It works via serial, but Bluetooth is broken.
I have a second T-ECHO which I upgraded straight away and that one is not experiencing issues, but I flashed the file to verify, and yes, all settings just survive.
