What can I delete out of Flash?

I am trying to upgrade my Cisco router but have hit a snag.  The image that I am trying to upgrade to is roughly 18.5 mb and the image currently on the router is about 12 mb.  The router only has 24mb of space, though and there are other files that are on the router.  What I have in flash besides this image is home.tar, sdm.tar, home.shtml, common.tar, sdmconfig-8xx.cfg and SDM_Backup.  Is there any way to get rid of any of these files and still have the router work?

If I download SDM on my computer then this will not matter anyways, will it?
If you copy to your pc, you can in the future copy back to the router. However, i dont think that will be necessary because tar archive will extract the updated ones.

Web interface isnt very practical, so if i was you i would:

erase flash:  (erase all files on flash)
install the new IOS


I know that it is not practical.  I have the SDM software downloaded to my computer, though, so wouldn't that just mean that if I wanted to use SDM I could do it through the program instead of through the web?
