Usage Guidelines
Use this command to uninstall a software package previously installed on the switch.
Use this command to uninstall a VOSS image when staged for installation on the next reboot.
* (NOS Change to VOSS after Reboot) switch-model-EXOS.3 # uninstall image Uninstalling VOSS image... Image uninstalled successfully * (Beta) switch-model-EXOS.4 #
If a VOSS image is not staged, the same command would yield the following error:
* (Beta) switch-model-EXOS.4 # uninstall image Uninstalling VOSS image... Error: No other Network Operating System image has been staged for auto-install * (Beta) switch-model-EXOS.4 #
When you uninstall a software package, the switch prompts you to save your changes to your currently active configuration file:

Enter y to save the changes to your configuration file. Enter n to not save the changes to your configuration file.
