Hi Ali,
Can you please issue a command "dir cat4000_flash:" and confirm me if you only see vlan.dat file there?
If you see only vlan.dat file issue a command ""erase cat4000_flash:"
I believe there is nothing other than 'vlan.dat' file in cat4000_flash:, so that will take care of it. You may need to reload the switch to see the vlans disappear.

Hi Ali
What is the exact command you are typing in ?
Can you also post output of "dir" command on 4500.
Thanks

I think the poster said 'VTP MODE", if you are in "CLIENT", the vlan.dat file is a database built from a "VTP SERVER". Change your mode to "Trans" and try deleting it.
Or see the following:

Hi Ali,
The command "delete 4000catbootflash:vlan.dat" is a wrong command and there is no location like "4000catbootflash".
VLAN.dat on 4500 switches are stored in seperate location which is cat4000_flash so to delete this file you have to give exact location where file is stored.
