I am trying to update a switch I bought to the latest IOS using the Cisco Network Assistant but the it is failing becasue it's saying I dont have the space.
In the CLI I get,
Switch#dir all-filesystems
Directory of flash:/
2 -rwx 109 Mar 01 1993 00:01:47 +00:00 info
3 -rwx 270 Jan 01 1970 00:01:37 +00:00 env_vars
7 -rwx 3081999 Mar 01 1993 00:03:23 +00:00 c2950-i6q4l2-mz.121-22.EA1
.bin

Directory of system:/
2 dr-x 0 <no date> memory
1 -rw- 1133 <no date> running-config
No space information available
How do I clear all this out to make room for the new IOS. I'm trying to install ( c2950-i6k2l2q4-mz.121-22.EA14.bin ). Any ideas?
Thank you.

Darryl,
I suggest using CLI directly to upgrade your IOS. I am not sure why the Cisco Network Assistant is refusing to upgrade your IOS. Yes, it would need to delete the current image and store in the new one but that is how the upgrade is supposed to happen.
Proceed as follows:

Risky way, but still.
#del /rec /force flash:/c2950-i6q4l2-mz.121-22.EA1

Thank you, I did try to use CLI to delete the bin file but no luck, kept saying no directory or file. I did delete through the Network Assistant and all went well after that. It upgraded no problem, restarted and its perfect. Thank you for your replies.

Darryl,
Most probably a syntax error or a typo when you entered the command. If that ever happens, please post the exact transcript of the entire session here so that we can identify the problem and help you.
Nevertheless, you did eventually find your way around this Very well!
Best regards,

Thank you Peter, I would guess your right with syntax.
One command I had tried was,
del /r/f flash:html
I found this online to clear off osme files but it failed, no such directory.
I appreciate your reply, I figured it was time to get on board and pick up these 2950T's, they are so affordable and seem like a great platform to learn on. I'm trying to figure out how I can use our Cisco at work to create a Vlan for 6 public AP's. What I am wanting to do is right now we have a completely separate network for the public wifi access but in order to monitor I have to take my laptop into the server and plug into the UTM, inconvenient.
What I'd like to do is plug the AP's into the Cisco switch and then just tie in the UTM so I can have access to the UTM over our private network but I have no idea where to start because I want to keep their subnets completely different and I do not want to expose our private network form the public wifi access.
So I bought these 24 port switches (only need one but they were so cheap ) and a router to act as my practice UTM appliance at home to set it up here first, then implement at work once I figure things out.
