Hi:

I want to know if is possible to delete files or directories that are currently allocated in flash memory. As you can see in the following output, I'm in ROMMON mode and any of the images can't boot propoerly.

ap: dir flash:

What image/IOS do you want

What image/IOS do you want the IOS to boot?

I'd like to use ap1g2-k9w7-mx

I'd like to use ap1g2-k9w7-mx.153-3.JD. In fact, I tried before to use it, but it didn't work (I used this command: set BOOT flash:/ap1g2-k9w7-mx.153-3.JD/ap1g2-k9w7-mx.153-3.JD if you are wondering), so I tried with ap1g2-k9w7-mx.152-4.JB6 and it appeared to be a problem while extracting files due to space in flash.

BOOT=flash:/ap1g2-k9w7-mx.152

Leo Laohoo — Tue, 23 Aug 2016 01:00:29 GMT

BOOT=flash:/ap1g2-k9w7-mx.152-4.JB6/ap1g2-k9w7-mx.152-4.JB6

Currently, the AP is instructed to boot this file (above). One way of forcing the AP to another IOS is to delete the file specified in the boot variable statement.

Command: delete flash:/ap1g2-k9w7-mx.152-4.JB6/ap1g2-k9w7-mx.152-4.JB6

Once this command is entered the IOS file gets deleted. The AP will now be forced to boot the next available IOS, ap1g2-k9w7-mx.152-4.JB6.

Post the entire bootup process. I want to see where the AP is failing.

Leo, I get this when I try to

Leo, I get this when I try to delete the file:

ap:
ap: delete flash:/ap1g2-k9w7-mx.152-4.JB6/ap1g2-k9w7-mx.152-4.JB6
Are you sure you want to delete "flash:/ap1g2-k9w7-mx.152-4.JB6/ap1g2-k9w7-mx.152-4.JB6" (y/n)?y
File "flash:/ap1g2-k9w7-mx.152-4.JB6/ap1g2-k9w7-mx.152-4.JB6" not deleted -- no such file or directory

Ok, reboot the AP and post

Leo Laohoo — Tue, 23 Aug 2016 01:10:58 GMT

Ok, let's do this the easy way.

If autonomous IOS is what you want the AP to boot up with, the easiest (and fastest) way to get this running is to format the flash of the AP (Command: format flash:).

Once the format is complete load the autonomous IOS using the Mode Button method.

Hi Leo:

The format flash: command helped me to get free space in flash again. I could extract ap1g2-k9w7-mx.153-3.JD and after boot process the AP is in autonomous mode and working fine, as I wanted. Thanks a lot for your help.
