Removing Directories
To remove a directory with all its files and subdirectories, use the delete /force /recursive filesystem:/file-url
privileged EXEC command.
Use the /recursive keyword to delete the named 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.
For filesystem, use flash: for the system board flash device. For file-url, enter the name of the directory to be
deleted. All of the files in the directory and the directory are removed.
Caution When directories are deleted, their contents cannot be recovered.
