Hi,
I have tried to reset AP1852I using mode button and also using command "capwap ap erase all". But the AP is not fully restored.
I can still see these files in the flash drive:

Also I am seeing below logs running over and over:

I would like to know how since the flash drive is showing these files that means the AP is not fully reset right?
This is a refurbished AP and Cisco recommends to reset the AP before configuring it for new network. My question is if i am not able to reset, Is it okay to add this AP into network without resetting?
