Deleting a version of the appliance software

You can delete a version of the appliance software when you need to add a newer

version but you already have two versions installed.

Note You cannot delete the currently running version of the appliance software. To

delete that software, you must ﬁrst switch to the second version and then delete

the other version. Also, if you have only one software version installed, you

cannot delete it.
