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.
The dir {flash: | slot0:} command does not show deleted files; the show {flash: | slot0:} command
Note
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
