How to delete stored fault codes?

G26 i4 M50, ISTA 4.39.x and 4.41.30 PSdZ... Got a few stored fault codes, carried out all the test plans according to ISTA then cleared them. But they would come back at the next drive, it stated it's not current/not present but stored, and ISTA test plan said they can be ignored if it happened only once, but can't seem to clear them for good..

Really want to save a trip to the dealer, knowing they are using the same thing to diagnosis lol Is there any proper procedure needed to clear stored codes? Thanks!!

Which faults?
There are faults that require to complete a test, procedure or driving cycle specified.

They're EV related, but I think driving cycle cleared everything except one, and it took a weird turn too. I've done all the test plans and procedures, no issue found and cleared them all. Now, ISTA is clean when doing a scan, BUT, the follow fault still shows up with BimmerUtility and OBDEleven when scan...

How could BimmerUtility and OBDEleven pick up a fault that ISTA don't?? I don't see any filtered or hided option on ISTA too, so now dealers can't even see it if I bring it in??

Clear it using other tools and try again if any tool or ista can read it.
This types of fault sometimes appear during startup or at specific time and are never active faults.
If you dont see it then depends on your ista. But first make sure that if you clear it, it doesnt come back.
