Remove old packet capture files?

verta

Hi all,

Hope fully this is a simple question to answer. Is there any way to remove old packet capture files created via the GUI? I have a 1GB capture just sitting in flash on a SG-3100 which is filling up a lot of the limited space.

Thanks,
Verta

NB The capabilities offered here can be dangerous. No support is available. Use them at your own risk!

Diagnostics -> Command Prompt

If you do a ls ~ you'll see packetcapture.cap

Then do a rm ~/packetcapture.cap I'd have rather told you to do a rm -i ~/packetcapture.cap, but the command prompt isn't interactive.

You could also ssh to the device and do the rm from the shell.

Derelict

Or just start and stop another capture. Set number of packets to 1 or something or capture on an interface with insignificant traffic.

Thanks both. I feel so silly for not thinking of starting a new pcap with a small count :o
