How to delete files from CSS11501

The scope of this post is to show how to delete archived files on a Cisco CSS11501. In order to delete other files (core dumps, logs, etc) the procedure is similar, you just need to know what you want to delete. In order to manipulate the files we need to go to debug mode:

CSS11501# llama

Then the ap_file command provides the "File commands using Complete pathnames". To delete the archived_rc_file from the Archive directory, issue:

CSS11501(debug)# ap_file delete c:/Archive/archived_rc_file

To see the files which are present in the Archive directory you can use the Tab after you type ap_file delete c:/Archive/ I am using the sg0820001 WebNS, and the dir - to list the contents of the Archive directory - command did not yeld any results when ran.

CSS11501(debug)# dir c:/Archive/
CSS11501(debug)#
