ASA File Management Safe to Delete

[santimac88]

Hello,

I need to update my Cisco Any Connect Software, but I do not have enough space to do that, could you please help me to confirm which Files I can delete without affect my ASDM and Boot Images, I suppose I cannot delete the ones that say Boot Image and ASDM Image, but I can delete the Old ASDM.bin Version???

Thanks

You are safe to delete older asa and asdm bin files. Just make sure they are not in use.
Login via CLI, run the following:
sh ver -- You can see current asa##.bin & ASDM versions in use
sh run | i boot --This will show you what bin file/s are/will be in use
sh run | i asdm -- This will also show you the current asdm image in use
You can change them or remove them with a 'no' in front. Example of each:
(config)# asdm image disk0:/asdm-7131.bin
(config)# no asdm image disk0:/asdm-7131.bin
Same thing for boot files:
(config)# boot system disk0:/asa984-10-smp-k8.bin
(config)# no boot system disk0:/asa984-10-smp-k8.bin

Thanks,

Can I use ASDM instead to delete the Files?
