Recovering ("undeleting") a file

You can recover or undelete a file you have deleted from a flash card file system.
NOTE
You cannot recover or undelete a file from the flash memory file system. Therefore, the undelete
command does not apply to the flash memory file system.
The software attempts to recover the file in the file system that has the current management focus.
By default, flash memory has the management focus. If you want to recover a file in a file system
that does not have the current management focus, you must switch the management focus to the
desired file system using the cd command. For more information about switching the management
focus, refer to
For example, to undelete a file on the flash card in slot 2, if flash memory has the current
management focus, enter a command such as the following.
BigIron RX# cd slot2
BigIron RX# undelete
Undelete file ?RIMARY ? (enter y or n) :y
Input one character: P
File recovered successfully and named to PRIMARY
For each file that can be undeleted from the flash card in slot 2, the CLI displays the remaining
name entry in the file directory and prompts you for the first character of the file name. You can
enter any valid file name character. You do not need to enter the character that was used before in
the deleted file name.
Once you enter a character and the CLI undeletes the file, the CLI continues with the next file that
can be undeleted. For each file, specify "y" or "n", and specify a first character for the files that you
select to undelete.
NOTE
When you delete a file from a flash card, the CLI leaves the file intact but removes the first letter in
the file name from the file directory. However, if you save file changes or new files that use part of
the space occupied by the deleted file, you cannot undelete the file. The undelete command lists
only the files that can be undeleted.
To end the undelete process, enter the CTRL + C key combination.
