Emmanuel Katto Dubai | Issues with Removing Entity Not Defined in configuration.yaml

Configuration
1

Hi all,

I’m Emmanuel Katto from Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE) currently facing an issue where I can’t remove an entity that doesn’t have a definition in my configuration.yaml. Here’s what happened:

  • I created an entity with an incorrect name, which ended up creating a _2 version of that entity with a unique ID.
  • There is no sensor definition for the abc_2 entity, but I’m unable to delete it.
  • I’ve already tried creating an entity with that exact unique name and then deleting the definition. I’ve also restarted multiple times between steps, but nothing changes.
  • I’ve attempted using the purge function as well, but it still doesn’t go away.

Can anyone suggest other methods to remove an entity that is no longer defined in the configuration files or isn’t being recognized by the system anymore? Any insights or alternative approaches would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Best regards,
Emmanuel Katto
