/recursive

Command Modes
Privileged EXEC
Command History
Release
12.0(5.2)WC(1)

Usage Guidelines
If you use the /force keyword, you are prompted once at the beginning of the deletion process to confirm
the deletion.
If you use the /recursive keyword without the /force keyword, you are prompted to confirm the deletion
of every file.
The prompting behavior depends on the setting of the file prompt global configuration command. By
default, the switch prompts for confirmation on destructive file operations. For more information about
this command, see the Cisco IOS Command Reference for Cisco IOS Release 12.1.
Examples
This example shows how to delete a file from the switch flash memory:
Switch# delete flash:filename
You can verify that the directory was removed by entering the dir filesystem: privileged EXEC
command.
