Use the "squeeze" command. Cisco states " The squeeze command, which is used to erase all files marked for deletion on a Flash file system, is now available on Cisco 2600 and Cisco 3600 series routers."
So, you did the first step by deleting the IOS, but now you have to squeeze it in order to remove it from flash.
