How to delete IOS image inside 3600 router

[trinawong]

Hi,everyone

There is a 3600 router, and inside has 2 IOS image, now I would like upgrade the IOS image file, but there is not enough space, so I deleted one IOS image, but after that when I 'show flash', the IOS image which i deleted just marked 'deleted' behind the IOS name, the total used size still include this one, after I reloaded the router, still the same situation.

Is anyone can give me some idea how to permanently erase the IOS image for 3600 router?

Thanks a lot in advance.

I believe you have to squeeze it.

Here is a TAC solution that explains the squeeze.

Hi, guys

Thanks for your reply.

But for this serial router doesn't support 'squeeze' command.

Any comment?

Thanks a lot.

If you cannot issue the "squeeze flash:" command, you could try to format the flash ("format flash:") and then re-upload the IOS to the router's flash memory. What IOS are you running? What kind of 3600?
