delete file <file>
Deletes a file or directory.
- file
- A file or directory to delete, including the path.
Operational mode
Use this command to delete a file or directory.
This command is optimized for configuration files and directories in that command completion refers to the /config directory of all known system images. For example, running://config/ indicates the /config directory of the currently running system, and test-image1://config/indicates the /config directory of an image called test-image1. If needed, however, any other location within the file system can be specified.
CAUTION: Use this command with caution because its effects are not reversible.
This example shows how to delete the /config/user-data/xxx file from the currently running system.
vyatta@vyatta:~$ delete file running://config/user-data/xxx
