DELETE FILE

Syntax

delete file=[cflash:]

filename

Parameter

file

Specifies the name of the file to be deleted. A name
with spaces must be enclosed in double quotes.
Otherwise, the quotes are optional. If the file is stored
on a compact memory flash card, precede the name
with “cflash:”.

Description

This command deletes a file from the file system or from a compact flash
memory card.

Note the following before using this command:

ˆ

Deleting the configuration file that is acting as the active boot
configuration file causes the switch to use its default settings the next
time you reboot or power cycle the switch, unless you select another
active boot configuration file. For instructions on how to change the
active boot configuration file, refer to see “SET CONFIG” on page 245.

ˆ

To delete a PKI certificate, you must first remove the certificate from
the certificate database using “DELETE PKI CERTIFICATE” on
page 781.

ˆ

This command does not accept a directory path. To delete a file on a
compact flash card, you must first change to the directory where the
file is stored. For instructions, refer to “SET CFLASH DIR” on
page 244.

ˆ

Files with a “.ukf” extension cannot be deleted with this command.
These files are encryption key pairs. To delete an encryption key pair
from the switch, refer to “DESTROY ENCO KEY” on page 770.

To list the files in the file system, refer to “SHOW FILE” on page 249.
