Creating and Removing Directories
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to create and remove a directory:
To delete a directory with all its files and subdirectories, use the delete /force /recursive
filesystem:/file-url privileged EXEC command.
Use the /recursive keyword to delete the named directory and all subdirectories and the files contained
in it. Use the /force keyword to suppress the prompting that confirms a deletion of each file in the
directory. You are prompted only once at the beginning of this deletion process. Use the /force and
/recursive keywords for deleting old software images that were installed by using the archive
download-sw command but are no longer needed.
show file information file-url Display information about a specific file.
show file descriptors Display a list of open file descriptors. File descriptors are the internal representations
of open files. You can use this command to see if another user has a file open.
