Hello,
I’m having a extrange problem. I have several input_boolean helpers and two of them have disappeared from Configuration->Helpers and everywhere in Lovelace, but if I try to create them again, the system says that another helper does exist with the same ID.
Where can I find/restore/delete lost helper variables?
I answer myself.
After reading this thread: Save failed: Entity is already registered
The not completely deleted entities are still saved in some hidden files, but they don’t appear in the HA graphical interface. To completely delete them I had to follow the next steps:
- Option A: If you have samba installed, access with file browser folder: “\ip_of_your_HA\config.storage”.
Option B: If you have “file editor” add-on installed in HA, click on its configuration and in the ignore pattern
section, delete .storage
line. Access “file editor” and open folder “\config.storage”.
- Access the following files and delete every section containing the entity you want to get rid of:
“core.restore_state”
“core.entity_registry”
“input_boolean” (or input_number, or whatever entitty class you want to delete).
- In HA go to Configuration->Server Controls: Check configutation and Restart Server.
