Datasheet
It should reboot automatically and you should see CIRCUITPY in your file explorer again.
If the LED flashes red during step 5, it means the erase has failed. Repeat the steps starting with 2.
If you haven't already downloaded the latest release of CircuitPython for your board, check out the installation
page (https://adafru.it/Amd). You'll also need to install your libraries and code!
Old Way: For Non-Express Boards with a UF2 bootloader (Gemma M0, Trinket M0):
If you are running a version of CircuitPython before 2.3.0, and you don't want to upgrade, or you can't get to the REPL,
you can do this.
1. Download the erase file:

2. Double-click the reset button on the board to bring up the boardnameBOOT drive.
3. Drag the erase .uf2 file to the boardnameBOOT drive.
4. The boot LED will start flashing again, and the boardnameBOOT drive will reappear.
5. Drag the appropriate latest release CircuitPython (https://adafru.it/Amd) .uf2 file to the boardnameBOOT drive.
It should reboot automatically and you should see CIRCUITPY in your file explorer again.

Old Way: For non-Express Boards without a UF2 bootloader (Feather M0 Basic Proto,
Feather Adalogger, Arduino Zero):
If you are running a version of CircuitPython before 2.3.0, and you don't want to upgrade, or you can't get to the REPL,
you can do this.
Just follow these directions to reload CircuitPython using bossac (https://adafru.it/Bed), which will erase and re-create
CIRCUITPY .
Running Out of File Space on Non-Express Boards
The file system on the board is very tiny. (Smaller than an ancient floppy disk.) So, its likely you'll run out of space but
don't panic! There are a couple ways to free up space.
The board ships with the Windows 7 serial driver too! Feel free to delete that if you don't need it or have already
installed it. Its ~12KiB or so.
Delete something!
The simplest way of freeing up space is to delete files from the drive. Perhaps there are libraries in the lib folder that
you aren't using anymore or test code that isn't in use.
