How to delete duplicate entities

I have 2 Eve Power plugs and they are both connected via matter. For some reason I have multiple entities unavailable, their names are _2 and _3 etc. I can’t delete the entity in the entity list because the button is greyed out.

What’s happening and how can I get rid of this?

I only ever have added the devices via the gui, never done any scripting or manual config.

The hated _2.
If you reinstall a device without deleting the prior installation, you will get the _2.

And they are damned near impossible to remove.

One reason that an entity can’t be removed is if it is used in a yaml file. I use a grep utility on the PC to find which files an entity is used in.

But first install the Samba Share add-on. This exposes the config folder (and others) to your PC File Manager.
