I have loaded an IOS update to a Cisco 3560 switch. After loading and cleanup I have a directory left over from the old IOS that causes me problems, but I can't delete it or the sub directory or file in it. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Shown below is from the CLI. c3560-ipservicesk9-mz.122-58.SE2.bin is the current IOS. Ignore the file dates. I had to do a password restore and load system defaults because the previous SA left a mess behind when he left.

BINGO!!!!!!
delete /force/recursive flash:/c3560-ipservices-mz.122-35.SE5/c3560-ipservices-mz.122-35.SE5.bin
worked like a champ!
Saw it first , so I didn't get a chance to try del /force flash:/ c3560-ipservices-mz.122-35.SE5/info. It may have worked too, but no way I'm going backwards to find out.
Thanks for the help.

Hi,
del /force flash:/c3560-ipservices-mz.122-35.SE5:info
%Error deleting flash:/c3560-ipservices-mz.122-35.SE5:info (No such file or directory)
it should be
del /force flash:/ c3560-ipservices-mz.122-35.SE5/info
If somu command doesn't work then delete both files in the directory this way then delete the empty directory and it should work.
Regards.
Alain.
