DD-WRT
Router Model
Asus RT-AC5300
Firmware Version
DD-WRT v3.0-r58568 std (10/15/24)
Kernel Version

I used administration/factory defaults but the \jffs remained in NVRAM as a second instance to \jfss USB (see below).
On services/services tab
Ticked Use JFFS2 for Client Lease DB
Unticked Use NVRAM for Client Lease DB

Do I need to delete the \jffs in NVRAM (/dev/mtdblock/4) ?

I refer to article
https://forum.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=307838

It was never answered and suggests using the following command. Is this safe?
flash_erase /dev/mtd/5 0 0

I refer to article
https://wiki.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Hard_reset_or_30/30/30#Hard_Reset_on_ARM_and_other_newer_routers

It says the various resets don't clear the NVRAM so perhaps removing it is important. What is the correct method and that command line above seems like it is the way?

Thanks.

There's wiki articles for a reason.
