Delete Files from Compact Flash Memory

To delete a file from Compact Flash memory, use the delete flash: filename command, followed by the

squeeze flash: 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 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: command.

Note The dir command does not show deleted files; the show command shows all files, including any deleted files if the squeeze command has not been entered.
