Files in Router's Flash

[inderpreetsingh23]

Hello Everyone,

I am having Cisco2951 router. There are lot of files in the routers flash which is consuming memory. If I delete these files is it going to affect my routers performance?

The show flash output is attached herewith.

Thanks

Hi,

If this router is not being used as SRST or CME, then you can delete the firmware related files ( like for 8831 ) and also CME GUI related files. I see a load of files related to Cisco Configuration Professional ccpexp , if it is not being used they can be deleted as well.

Hi Inderpreet

Lots of the files in your router are for "Cisco Configuration Professional  Express"

In case you are not using this tool to manager your router config, you can definitely go ahead and delete the files pertaining to folder "ccpexp". Below link will help you in removing the ccpexp from your router flash:

Apart from that under the GUI folder, the files belong to CME GUI , incase you are using GUI to manage your CME. Then there are few files for 8831, in case you are using your router to provide firmware to the 8831 phones. These you can choose to delete if the phones are not fetching the firmware from the router.

Thanks everyone for your reply.

I was able to wipe the CCP from routers flash. I am using the router as CME. I need the firmware files for 8831.
