Usage Guidelines
When you delete a file, the software erases the file.
If you attempt to delete the configuration file or image specified by the CONFIG_FILE or BOOTLDR
environment variable, the system prompts you to confirm the deletion. Also, if you attempt to delete the
last valid system image specified in the BOOT environment variable, the system prompts you to confirm
the deletion.
Caution
If you specify a directory, the
delete
command deletes the entire directory and all its contents.
Examples
