Erase Flash on upload.

With ArduinoIDE there is an option to erase flash on upload. This can sometimes fix errors and crashes and is good to for a fresh start if a lot of changes have been made.

Is this possible to do this with ElegantOTA?

Thanks

I think it's not possible because of OTA library, right now. It's stored in flash. When We would move library to IRAM, we would format flash and copy uploaded file. I see that firmware uploaded directly from IDE via USB has less unexpexted error and reboots.
Or let the Arduino IDE creates bin file with max available size - 1024KB(free space is empty).

It is not possible when doing an OTA update. The process is completely different to how 'flash' procedure is handled by ArduinoIDE.
