Disappeared helpers

Configuration
1

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:

  1. 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”.
  2. 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).
  3. In HA go to Configuration->Server Controls: Check configutation and Restart Server.
