2602i remove files from Flash / recover from rommon

hello all, I've got a particular question, not anwered in other foruns i've searched.
My Cisco Aironet 2602i is in the rommon state
ap:
set IP_ADDR 10.2.104.152
set NETMASK 255.255.255.0
set DEFAULT_ROUTER 10.2.0.254
tftp_init
ether_init
flash_init
tar -xtract tftp://a.b.c.d/networking/software/AP/AP_2600/autonomous/ap3g2-k9w7-tar.152-4.JB5.tar flash:
everything was going ok, when the AP said that's not enough space on the flash to write the new code.
So I've done
ap: dir flash:
2    -rwx  20818     <date>               event.log
3    -rwx  3828      <date>               private-config
4    -rwx  64        <date>               sensord_CSPRNG0
5    -rwx  286       <date>               info
6    drwx  2048      <date>               ap3g2-k9w8-mx.152-4.JB5
7    drwx  512       <date>               ap3g2-rcvk9w8-mx
13   drwx  192       <date>               ap3g2-k9w7-mx.152-4.JB5
50   drwx  0         <date>               configs
68   -rwx  64        <date>               sensord_CSPRNG1
69   -rwx  3096      <date>               private-multiple-fs
262  -rwx  209       <date>               env_vars
I cannot delete the 3 folders (line 6,7,13)
I've tried the following commands:
ap: delete /recursive /force flash:ap3g2-rcvk9w8-mx
Are you sure you want to delete "/recursive" (y/n)?n
File "/recursive" not deleted
Are you sure you want to delete "/force" (y/n)?n
File "/force" not deleted
Are you sure you want to delete "flash:ap3g2-rcvk9w8-mx" (y/n)?y
File "flash:ap3g2-rcvk9w8-mx" not deleted -- is a directory
I've also tried:
ap: cd ap3g2-k9w8-mx.152-4
Unknown cmd: cd
ap: delete flash:ap3g2-rcvk9w8-mx
Are you sure you want to delete "flash:ap3g2-rcvk9w8-mx" (y/n)?y
File "flash:ap3g2-rcvk9w8-mx" not deleted -- is a directory
any thoughts? 

the correct command to delete a file inside a directory is
ap: delete flash:/ap3g2-rcvk9w8-mx/ap3g2-rcvk9w8-xx
Are you sure you want to delete "flash:/ap3g2-rcvk9w8-mx/ap3g2-rcvk9w8-xx" (y/n)?y
File "flash:/ap3g2-rcvk9w8-mx/ap3g2-rcvk9w8-xx" deleted
Problem solved.
cheers!

  • How can I remove files from the startup disk

    I am getting a screen when I am trying to quit saying   the "MAC OS X startup disk has no more space available for application memory"  by closing the windows and removing files from the startup disk will help.
    How do I do this?

    That error message is misleading. Your problem is excessive swapping of data between physical memory and virtual memory.
    That can happen for two reasons:
    You have a long-running process with a memory leak (i.e., a bug), or
    You don't have enough memory installed for your usage pattern.
    Tracking down a memory leak can be difficult, and it may come down to a process of elimination.
    In the Activity Monitor application, select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected. Click the heading of the  Real Mem column in the process table twice to sort the table with the highest value at the top. If you don't see that column, select
    View ▹ Columns ▹ Real Memory
    from the menu bar.
    If one process (excluding "kernel_task") is using much more memory than all the others, that could be an indication of a leak. A better indication would be a process that continually grabs more and more real memory over time without ever releasing it. Here is an example of how it's done.
    The process named "Safari Web Content" renders web pages for Safari and other applications. It uses a lot of memory and may leak if certain Safari extensions or third-party web plugins are installed. Consider it a prime suspect.
    If you don't have an obvious memory leak, your options are to install more memory (if possible) or to run fewer programs simultaneously.
    The next suggestion is only for users familiar with the shell. For a more precise, but potentially misleading, test, run the following command: 
    sudo leaks -nocontext -nostacks process | grep total
    where process is the name of a process you suspect of leaking memory. Almost every process will leak some memory; the question is how much, and especially how much the leak increases with time. I can’t be more specific. See the leaks(1) man page and the Apple developer documentation for details.

  • Removing files from a dead powerbook drive

    I need to remove files from a dead powerbook which has motherboard failure. Does not boot up so Target mode will not work. Is there another way to do this?
    Do they make drive dock connectors for this?

    You could remove the drive and use a drive adapter. Many places make drive adapters.
    I like OWC. Here is an example.

    The article below will assist with finding things and help increase the hard drive space for your computer. The best way is to have an external hard drive to copy things to if you do not want to delete and loose things.

  • HT204025 Can I remove files from my computer without removing them from iCloud?

    Can I remove files from my computer without removing them from iCloud?

    Reason I'm asking: I did move a folder over, and then went to iCloud.com, and looked in that folder, and it said it was empty. Thanks
    When you move a folder to iCloud Drive, it will upload the contents of this folder to iCloud Drive, but it may take a long tome, even for small items. You may see progress bars, while the contents is uploading.  And the folder may look empty, until it will be updated from iCloud.  For example - shortly after adding the folder "neueBilder" to iCloud Drive.

    I was wondering if anyone knew how to remove files from the start up disk without deleting any files?
    I am unable to add any more photos and even download the latest updates because the start up disk is full....
    Is it possible to move the files off the start up disk without deleting them?
    I would appreciate feedback,
    Thanks

    Well you can move them to an external drive but this will delete them from the internal drive. Which is what you have to do to free up disk space.

  • HT201177 How Do I Remove Files From My Start-Up Disk?

    Can someone tell me how to remove files from my start up disk?

    Your startup volume is full. First, reboot. That will temporarily free up some space. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB free for normal operation. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of your data.
    Use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the space.
    Proceed further only if the problem hasn't been solved.
    ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To really see everything, you have to run it as root.
    First, back up all data if you haven't already done so. No matter what happens, you should be able to restore your system to the state it was in at the time of that backup.
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
    After installing ODS in the Applications folder, drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
    sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
    You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up.
    I don't recommend that you make a habit of this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. When you're done with it, quit it and also quit Terminal.
