S22 +. Cannot delete an esim?

[Efour]

I've tried the normal ways of deleting it but for some reason it just will not die.
I've deleted rebooted, it confirms everything
Go back to the menu and it's sitting there.
Trying to connect, trying to do something....

I've cleared app data, cache data for anything app with the word SIM in it.

The last option is a factory reset....
But I'm on holiday and that's not an option.

Help? Ideas?

It's basically bricking this phone as use for a phone...
Hard reset then I guess

Hard reset did nothing

spoke to esim retailer.... useless best they can do is block it. Apparently it never activated?

I would get searching/posting on XDA.
But if you can't remove the esim via sim-manager and a (phone) factory reset (you should have the option to remove settings/esim), then either a factory reset via recovery mode or reflash firmware (can download with Frija or Sammobile) via odin may work; definitely read up on both though.

I would tinker with it if it was mine but as its wife's shes already angry
its been wrapped off and already on its way back to the retailer who after a long chat on the phone will send it off to samsung if they cant fix it, which they cant im sure....

Hopefully she'll get a refund or replacement..
