I have Catalyst 4948E-F Switch. It is booting in ROMMON mode. I tried to upgrade with new IOS. It Shows a message that "File Loaded Successfully" but not showing in BootFlash Directory. I would be very grateful if anyone will solve this headache.
Here is BootFlash Directory:

This is also not working. Is there any way to delete old IOS from switch? in ROMMON mode I cannot use "erase" , "delete" , "format" command.
