If it's corrupted, you will need a new image in order to boot into IOS. Most likely you will need to download a fresh image and xmodem the image to the 6500 file system.
This document covers this situation in details:

When proceeding with the xmodem, you are given the option to erase the current image.
Please read the documentation.

Hello,
I just ran into the same issue with a corrupted image on flash and was not able to delete flash from rommon.
Working on Rommon is pretty tedious and you have limited options
Solution,
- Find a router with a Cisco compact flash with the image on it, eject the compact flash
- Move it the router that is on Rommon, reload.
- Once the image is decompressed , you should beable to get to CLI.
- Once on CLI, connect the compact flash with corrupted image and then "delete flash:"
- Now you should be able to configure the router interface and load the new image via tftp.
I figured out in the process that once the router boot from flash you can remove the compact flash without losing access to CLI
I know this may not be the prettiest, but that is a workaround.
