3850 clear flash: space

[ctc.ciscotech]

I have a new Catalyst 3850 24T. I want to upgrade it to the latest IOS XE. I have uploaded the bin file, but it says it doesn't have enough space to extract it. I am new to XE, and I'm unfamiliar with all the things in flash: Does anyone know what is safe to delete to clear up some space for me? cat3k_caa-universalk9.16.03.07.SPA.bin is the one I'm trying to boot from.
