Description 
Use the reset saved-configuration command to remove a specified configuration file 
from the Flash. 
If you execute this command with neither the backup nor the main keyword specified, 
the primary configuration file is removed. 
The reset saved-configuration command is usually used when: 
z  The configuration files in the Flash are not compatible with the system software. 
(This may occur after you upgrade the software of the switch.) 
z  The network where the switch operates changes. In this case, the existing 
configuration files may conflict with the new network. You can remove the existing 
configuration files and configure the switch again. 
 
  Caution: 
z  Execute the reset  saved-configuration command with caution or with the 
presence of the technicians. 
z  Upon powered on, a switch initiates using the default parameters if the Flash 
contains no configuration file. 
z  An error occurs when you execute this command if the configuration file removed 
does not exist. 
 
Related command: save.
