Stupid question re: deleting a file on a switch

jnewton03

So lets say someone fatfingered the filename of a bin file on a switch. The filename instead of being just filename.bin is instead \192.168.1.1filename.bin

How in the world do you delete that? Is there an escape character you need to use or something?

Try the following, (assuming it is in the bootflash directory)..

Delete bootflash:192.168.1.1filename.bin

If you have CatOS you will need to issue the squeeze command also.

You can either delete the flash file or rename it

delete flash: or delete bootflash:

rename flash:

HTH, rate if it does
