Using the Flash File System
This example shows how to permanently remove all deleted files from a Flash device:
Console> (enable) squeeze bootflash:
All deleted files will be removed, proceed (y/n) [n]? y
Squeeze operation may take a while, proceed (y/n) [n]? y
Erasing squeeze log
Console> (enable)
Restoring Deleted Files
You must specify the index number of a deleted file to identify the file to undelete. The index number
for each file appears in the first column of the dir command output. A file cannot be undeleted if a valid
file with the same name already exists. Instead, you must delete the existing file and then undelete the
desired file. A file can be deleted and undeleted up to 15 times.
To restore deleted files on a Flash device, perform this task in privileged mode:
Task
Step 1
Identify the index number of the deleted files on

Step 2

Step 3
Verify that the file is restored.

Console> (enable) dir deleted
-#- ED --type-- --crc--- -seek-- nlen -length- -----date/time------ name

Verifying a File Checksum
To verify the checksum of a file on a Flash device, perform this task in privileged mode:
Task
Verify the checksum of a file on a Flash device. verify [[m/]device:] filename
This example shows how to verify the checksum of a file:
Console> (enable) verify cat4000.4-4-1.bin
CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC
CCCCCCCCCCCCCCC
File bootflash:cat4000.4-4-1.bin verified OK
