If the file had been deleted, the system will not find it hence the error message:

Here is what I am talking see below, note the "D":

#show bootflash:

-#- ED ----type---- --crc--- -seek-- nlen -length- ---------date/time--------- name

2 .D crashinfo 3C1FCF48 ECF824 25 258568 Feb 14 2008 23:47:02 +00:00 crashinfo_20080214-234702

delete bootflash:crashinfo_20080214-234702
