Hi Rosa,

You can erase the configuration on your device to return to the factory defaults.

Example:

switch# write erase
Warning: This command will erase the startup-configuration.
Do you wish to proceed anyway? (y/n)  [n] y

That was what I did.

After this I went to:

switch(boot)# dir bootflash:
