How to squeeze IOS file system

[rakesh.shah]

HI

IN my 3640 router, in an attempt to upgrade the IOS, i deleted current ios file system and then trying to 'squeeze' it with command 'squeeze slot0:'. But it gives error message

xyz#squeeze slot0:

Squeeze operation may take a while. Continue? [confirm]

%Error squeezing slot0 ()

Please suggest any alternatives /workarou9nd

'sh slot0:' output is as per below.

XYZ#sh slot0

PCMCIA Slot0 flash directory:

on a 3600 squeeze is not an option , I beleive you have to use the erase slot0: or delete slot0: command, not sure which one it is.

Thanks a lot...'erase slot0:' took care of removing files and creating space in slot0 flash.
