Usage guidelines
Use the
delete
/
unreserved
file
-
url
command with caution. You cannot restore a file that was deleted with
this command.
The
delete
file
-
url
command (without the /
unreserved
option) moves the specified file to the recycle bin
unless the device is running out of storage space. If the device is running out of storage space, the file is
permanently deleted.
A file moved to the recycle bin can be restored by using the
undelete
command.
Do not use the
delete
command to delete files from the recycle bin. To delete files from the recycle bin, use
the
reset recycle-bin
command.
If you delete two files that have the same name but reside in different directories, both files are retained
in the recycle bin. If you successively delete two files that have the same name from the same directory,
only the file deleted last is retained in the recycle bin.
