I created a bas file without / . Now I can't delete it. I can select it with file manager and delete it....but it remains. Am I missing something?

Thanks

Files are handled differently on SPIFFS and FAT, but you should still be able to select the file in File Manager page and rename it with / prefix (to effectively Move it).
But no need to try too hard, simply copy all files or archive them to zip, then re-Format the device from the Config page for a clean start, then restore all except the problem file which you can paste into a new (correct) filename.
