deleted only if the existing version is being overwritten or removed.

/no-set-boot Specified to not alter the setting of the BOOT environment variable to point
to the new software image after it is successfully downloaded.
/no-version-check Downloads the software image without checking to prevent installing an
incompatible image.
/overwrite Overwrites the software image in flash memory with the downloaded one.
/reload Reloads the system after successfully downloading the image unless the
configuration has been changed and not been saved.
/safe Keeps the current software image; do not delete it to make room for the new
software image before the new image is downloaded. The current image is
deleted after the download.
