What's the difference between the two commands:

"erase nvram:" and "erase startup-config"?

No difference, both are essentially the same. Infact erase nvram replaces erase startup-config. command

And what 's the difference between the comands:

"delete flash"and " erase flash"?

"delete slot0:" and "erase slot0: "?

The conclusion is that,

delete command will mark the file as deleted, but the files will still occupy space on the flash. You can use undelete command to retrieve those files.

erase comand will wipe out files from flash.
