DELETE
DELETE is used to remove a specified file or range of files from the BMC
system directory. Files are stored on the BMC in different versions. The disk
directory can hold 255 versions of a given file type. The BMC stores files in
sequential order (starts with zero and creates new file until 255 versions of the
file have been created). Once the highest possible number of versions is
reached (255), the BMC version counter returns to one (overwrites the oldest
version)..
Note 21: The DELETE command can only be used when no program is
running.
Examples of command usage
To delete a single disk file, enter the following at the maintenance terminal:
