Delete Files from Compact Flash Memory

To delete a file from compact flash 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 sample output for deleting a Cisco IOS file from an external compact flash memory card, and then releasing the memory space originally occupied by the file:

Router# dir slot0:
