Often I can remove - purge - some, but far from all, of the entries in the ERAM. There is always some entries left that I can not remove, and no matter how many entries I remove, the calculator reports the free memory of the ERAM as 0. The only way I found so far to recover the ERAM is to do a full reset. This is however a bit annoying since I loose all settings.

Why not backup your settings (and other objects) to Port-2(Flash) or Port-3(SD card) before you reset the device, then you can restore them? Note though, it has been so long since I manually did a reset, I'm not sure if Port-2(Flash) is wiped. In any case, removing the SD card will keep that safe during the reset.
