Is it? I took that part of the flow from one of your [posts](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/node-red-contrib-counter/28360/27) actually. You have set to `delete` `flow.counter`.

In the documentation I understand it to be `delete` `msg.counter` and made the change as I could not find a reference to `delete` `flow.counter` on the "working with context page".

Should I change that back to `delete` `flow.counter`?
