No way to just blow away flash

[tbandtg]

Sometimes when I develop on the pico I need to blow away flash for stored things, I currently accomplish this by using jflash manual erase chip.

But not everyone has a jflash license.

Have you looked at: flash_nuke.uf2
Flash it or hold bootsel and drag and drop to erase the flash.
Feel free to open a feature request to integrate this as built-in feature into pico-vscode.

You can also run picotool erase from the command line inside VS Code, provided your device is in bootsel mode
