delete { filename | directory directoryName[:fileName ] } [ force ]
Command introduced before JunosE Release 7.1.0.
fileName variable added for directory keyword in JunosE Release 9.1.0.
Deletes a directory or file in nonvolatile storage. There is no no version.
NOTE: For detailed information on file type usage with the delete command, see Deleting
Files in the JunosE System Basics Configuration Guide.
fileName—Name of the local file you are deleting (for example, system1.cnf); in User
Exec and Privileged Exec mode only, an asterisk (*) in any position in the filename
substitutes for zero or more characters; using an asterisk causes the CLI to prompt you
for confirmation before the file or directory is deleted. You cannot delete reboot.hty or
system.log files when you use an asterisk.
directoryName—Path of a directory. To delete a file in user space, specify the incoming
or outgoing directory on the FTP server; you can specify the name of a subdirectory in
the incoming or outgoing directory. You cannot use an asterisk in a directory name.
force—Forces deletion of directory or file even when it is not empty; however, if a file
in the specified directory, or a specified file, is marked by the file system as in use
because it is required for the current operation or configuration, the force keyword
cannot force a deletion of the directory.
The force keyword is ignored when you attempt to delete any .dmp or .tsa file (unless
the deletion is issued from a .mac or .scr file); this means that the CLI always prompts
for confirmation for these file types.
