Hello guys, I've been trying to upgrade a cisco 9200 to the latest revision, however it keeps saying I do not have enough space, I managed to copy the bin file to the switch, but couldn't install.
How can I free up space to install the new image? The install remove inactive have nothing to erase.
It's only one switch.
Output when use command Install active commit:
--- Starting initial file syncing ---
FAILED: There is not enough free disk available to perform this operation on switch 1. At least 462728 KB of free disk is required
<3>%INSTALL-3-OPERATION_ERROR_MESSAGE: R0/0: install_engine: Failed to install_add_activate_commit package flash:cat9k_lite_iosxe.17.09.05.SPA.bin, Error: There is not enough free disk available to perform this operation on switch 1. At least 462728 KB of free disk is required

It was using the 17.06.05 version. And I was updating to 17.09.05.
But I had to update it, so I used the erase /all non default. I updated the FW and had to setup the switch again.

Hello @achequer
Look for old or unnecessary files that you can safely delete. Common files to remove include old IOS images, crashinfo files, and temporary files.
Exemple:
Switch# delete flash:crashinfo_*
Switch# delete flash:core.*

What firmware is the switch currently on?

Hi, I ran into this problem yesterday with multiple C9200L-24P-4X switches.
I overcame this by deleting all .pkg and .bin files from the flash and installing the new image from USB, without copying the .bin file to the switch's flash.
