Cleaning Cisco 9200 Flash

KoosG
Level 1
Level 1

I am upgrading my Cisco 9200 switches to cat9k_lite_iosxe.17.06.03.SPA.bin, but on some of the switches I do have issues with space on my switch flashes

cisco C9200L-48P-4G (ARM64) processor with 519552K/3071K bytes of memory.
Processor board ID JAE231409GQ
8 Virtual Ethernet interfaces
52 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces
2048K bytes of non-volatile configuration memory.
1999164K bytes of physical memory.
819200K bytes of Crash Files at crashinfo:.
1941504K bytes of Flash at flash:.
0K bytes of WebUI ODM Files at webui:.

This is what my flash looks like if I do a dir flash:

This is what I see if I do a show flash: - can I clean up some of these files to release some space to upload my new bin file
