3850 software upgrade error

Hello,

I have done a software upgrade on many 3850s and 1 of them didn't install all the way.  I have not reloaded any of the switches yet, so the old version 3.7.4 is still active.

It's a stack of 5 running 03.07.04 - attempting to install 03.06.06.   

Used this command:  software install file flash:xxxxx on-reboot switch 1 - 5

It never completed, but a lot of the pkg files remain in flash.  I decided to re-do the install by deleting the 3.6.6 pkg files, but when I go to delete them, the switch says "Deleting it may prevent the system from booting on the next reload."  

Should I proceed?  Or should I just leave the files there and re-install 3.6.6?  Will it overwrite them or delete them with a software clean command?

Thank you

Hi,

Just re-install 3.6.6 for now and than when everything is working remove the old packages with software clean command.

What is/are the error message(s) when the software installation doesn't complete?
