Deleting Files
Use the delete command to delete files in NVS. Table 36 on page 283 shows the types of
files you can delete in different locations.
delete
•
Use to delete files in NVS.
•
To delete a file in user space, specify the incoming or outgoing directory on the FTP
server. You can specify the name of a subdirectory in the incoming or outgoing directory.
•
You can include an asterisk (*) as a wildcard at any position in a specified filename.
The asterisk substitutes for zero or more characters in the name. You cannot use an
asterisk in a directory or subdirectory name.
•
You cannot delete reboot.hty or system.log files when you use a wildcard.
•
When you do not use a wildcard, the CLI deletes the file immediately without prompting
you for confirmation. When you use a wildcard, the CLI prompts you for confirmation
unless you also specify the
force keyword; in that case the deletion takes place without
confirmation.
•
The force keyword causes the immediate deletion of the directory or file even when it
is not empty. However, if a file in the specified directory, or a specified file, is marked
by the file system as in use because it is required for the current operation or
configuration, the
force keyword cannot force the deletion.
•
The force keyword is ignored when you attempt to delete any .dmp or .tsa file (unless
the deletion is issued from a .mac or .scr file); this means that the CLI always prompts
for confirmation for these file types.
