Caution: MSS does not prompt you to verify whether you want to delete a file. When you press
Enter after typing a delete command, MSS immediately deletes the specified file. Enterasys
Networks recommends that you copy a file to a TFTP server before deleting the file.
Note: MSS does not allow you to delete the currently running software image file or the running
configuration.
