Delete everything EXCEPT "c2950-i6q4l2-mz.121-14.EA1a.bin".  This is your IOS.

It might be your working with a flash formatted such that erased space isn't recovered for deleted files.

Some older Cisco system only supported that flash formatting, but some can be upgraded to the newer flash format if you format (not erase) your flash.  (NB: reformatting you flash will completely erase all its contents, so if you do that, be sure you have some place to store necessary contents so you can restore them.)

The HTML directory holds files approximately 2 Mb in total size.
