Erasing current image

Insufficient flash space available for this request:

Size info: request:5468216 current:2052152 delta:3416064 free:2883584

Image not installed

and when i do a sh flash i get this

(config)# sh flash

flash file system: version:3 magic:0x12345679

file 0: origin: 0 length:2052152

file 1: origin: 2097152 length:4329

file 2: origin: 0 length:0

file 3: origin: 2228224 length:3123604

file 4: origin: 0 length:0

file 5: origin: 8257536 length:308

so what i want to know is how do i delete all of this so that i can install the new Bin file,because there is no delete command in 6.3 and you can't use the squeeze command either

Unfortunately your platform does not support 7.x version, this version is intended for 515E or higher.

Thanks very much

while not supported, some people have successfully uploaded 7.x code to the 506e's. You have to first remove the PDM image though to make room for it. try google.

Thank you very much
