PurposeCommand or Action
Device# delete usbflash0:myconfig
On Class A and B Flash file systems,
when you delete a specific file in
flash memory, the system marks the
file as deleted, allowing you to later
recover a deleted file using the
undelete EXEC command. Erased
files cannot be recovered. To
permanently erase the configuration
file, use the squeeze EXEC
command. On Class C Flash file
systems, you cannot recover a file
that has been deleted. If you attempt
to erase or delete the configuration
file specified by the CONFIG_FILE
environment variable, the system
prompts you to confirm the deletion.
