File and Directory Operations
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.
Note
The dir {flash: | slot0:} command does not show deleted files; the show {flash: | slot0:} command
shows all files, including any deleted files if the squeeze {flash: | slot0:} command has not been entered.
The following example shows output for deleting a Cisco IOS file from an external compact Flash
memory card, and then releasing the memory space originally occupied by the file:
Router# dir slot0:
Directory of slot0:/

Display File Content
To display the content of a file in compact Flash memory, use the more {flash: | slot0:} command.
The following example shows output from the more {flash: | slot0:} command on an external
Cisco Flash memory card:
Router# more slot0:c3725-i-mz
00000000: 7F454C46 01020100 00000000 00000000
