Even though you deleted the file from flash, the space will not be
recovered, and you cannot SQUEEZE a 4500.

To recover the space in flash, you'll need to ERASE FLASH, then COPY TFTP
FLASH to save the image from your tftp server back into flash. If you have
another 4500 with the same image, just make it a tftp server ("tftp-server
flash:c4500-a3jk8s-mz.122-7b.bin").

HTH, Kym
