   Last boot partition: 1
   Next boot partition: 1
    
   Images available to be installed:

   switch (config) # image delete <old_image>

   When deleting an image, it is recommended to delete the file, but not the partition, so as to not overload system resources.

5. Display the available images again and verify that the new image now appears under “Images available to be installed”.

   Warning

   To recover from image corruption (e.g., due to power interruption), there are two installed images on the system. See the commands “image boot next” and “image boot location” for more information.
