Squeeze Your Flash…

Can’t get rid of a file in flash?

When was the last time you squeezed it?

I created a file called tshoot and for the life of me I couldn’t get rid of it in flash.

I did:

R1#delete flash:tshoot

And, as you can see from the pic above, it says it’s deleted but why is it still showing up? According to Cisco (1)

  • 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.

So…

R1#squeeze flash:

And voila!
