show
{
flash:

Delete files from CompactFlash memory
To delete a file from CompactFlash memory, enter the
delete
{
flash: | slot0:
}
command, followed by
the
squeeze
{
flash:
|
slot0:
} command.
When a file is deleted in the Class B Flash file system, the memory space occupied by the deleted file is
not released until you enter the
squeeze
{
flash:
|
slot0:
} command. Although the memory space once
occupied by the deleted file remains, the deleted file cannot be recovered. To release the memory space
occupied by a deleted file, enter the
squeeze
{
flash:
|
slot0:
} command.
Note
The
dir
{
flash:
|
slot0:
} command does not show deleted files; the
show
{
flash:
|
slot0:
} command
shows all files, including any deleted files if the
squeeze
{
flash:
|
slot0:
} command has not been entered.
The following example shows output for deleting a Cisco IOS file from an external CompactFlash
memory card, and then releasing the memory space originally occupied by the file:
Router#
dir slot0:
Directory of slot0:/
1 -rw- 6458208 <no date> c3725-i-mz.tmp
2 -rw- 6458208 <no date> c3725-i-mz
