      Hello,
      I'm having trouble with my Spresense microcontroller due to installing CircuitPython and Arduino IDE onto it at the same time which has caused the microcontroller to not work correctly.

      Is there a procedure I can follow to completely wipe the Spresense and start over again?

        I am not sure if I understood your question correctly. Every time you use Spresense with Arduino or CircuitPython you flash the board with your new program. Can you tell me more about your environment and why you think your board is not working?
        I suggest you follow these steps from the link below and run the LED program on your board and report if there is any issue: https://developer.sony.com/develop/spresense/docs/arduino_set_up_en.html

          Hello, @jul123-2

          This can indeed happen when you change from CircuitPython to Arduino IDE.

          Here is the procedure to follow:

          1. Erase flash (9.1.5. How to erase flash)
          2. Format flash (9.1.4. How to format)
            https://developer.sony.com/develop/spresense/docs/sdk_tutorials_en.html#_system_tools

          If this doesn't work there is a recovery tool available:
