Description
I'm wondering about the line "Otherwise, if the account already exists, the storage is cleared." Is there a case when an account has zero nonce and zero code, but non-zero storage? Also couldn't find this rule in the yellow paper. Thanks!

Research direction
Review evm.md at lines 720–722 and determine whether an existing account with zero nonce and zero code can have non-zero storage. Compare the stated rule with the Yellow Paper, which the issue identifies as a reference. Done means resolving whether the semantics are correct and identifying the necessary change or clarification.
