Cisco Catalyst 9400 User Manual

The password must not contain the special character '@'. If the character '@' is used, the copy fails to parse
the IP address of the server.
Note
Local writable file systems include flash:.
Some invalid combinations of source and destination exist. Specifically, you cannot copy these combinations:
• From a running configuration to a running configuration
• From a startup configuration to a startup configuration
Deleting Files
When you no longer need a file on a flash memory device, you can permanently delete it. To delete a file or
directory from a specified flash device, use the delete [/force] [/recursive] [filesystem:]/file-url privileged
EXEC command.
Use the /recursive keyword for deleting a 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.
If you omit the filesystem: option, the device uses the default device specified by the cd command. For file-url,
you specify the path (directory) and the name of the file to be deleted.
When you attempt to delete any files, the system prompts you to confirm the deletion.
When files are deleted, their contents cannot be recovered.
Caution
This example shows how to delete the file myconfig from the default flash memory device:
Device# delete myconfig

You can create a file and write files into it, list the files in a file, and extract the files from a file as described
