# factory-reset all

Erases all the content from the NVRAM, all the Cisco IOS images, including the current boot image, boot variables, startup and running configuration data, and user data.

Follow the below thread  to recover from switch:

The command will wipe out everything in the flash and the switch boots into ROMMON.  

The only way to get the firmware back in is to use a USB thumb drive and boot the firmware from the thumb drive or perform an "emergency-install usbflash0:".
