For specific examples of using the copy command with configuration files, see the 

To copy software images either by downloading a new version or uploading the existing one, use the 
archive download-sw or the archive upload-sw privileged EXEC command. For more information, see 
the 

When you no longer need a file on a flash memory device, you can permanently delete it. To delete a file 
or directory from a specified flash device, use the delete [/force] [/recursive] [filesystem:]/file-url 
privileged EXEC command. 

When files are deleted, their contents cannot be recovered.

Use the /recursive keyword for deleting a directory and all subdirectories and the files contained in it. 
Use the /force keyword to suppress the prompting that confirms a deletion of each file in the directory. 
You are prompted only once at the beginning of this deletion process. Use the /force and /recursive 
keywords for deleting old software images that were installed by using the archive download-sw 
command but are no longer needed.

If you omit the filesystem: option, the WMIC uses the default device specified by the cd command. For 
file-url, you specify the path (directory) and the name of the file to be deleted.

This example shows how to delete the file myconfig from the default flash memory device:

bridge# delete myconfig

You can create a tar file and write files into it, list the files in a tar file, and extract the files from a tar 
file as described in the next sections.

To create a tar file and write files into it, use the following command in privileged EXEC mode:

archive tar /create destination-url flash:/file-url

For destination-url, specify the destination URL alias for the local or network file system and the name 
of the tar file to create. These options are supported:

For the local flash file system, the syntax is

 

flash:/file-url

For the File Transfer Protocol (FTP), the syntax is 
ftp:[[//username[:password]@location]/directory]/tar-filename.tar

For the Remote Copy Protocol (RCP), the syntax is 
rcp:[[//username@location]/directory]/tar-filename.tar

For the Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP), the syntax is 
tftp:[[//location]/directory]/tar-filename.tar

The tar-filename.tar is the tar file to be created.
