/var/db/freebsd-update

After a couple of updates, the files in /var/db/freebsd-update are taking considerable space on my /var partition. Can they safely be removed after a successful update?

What good are they for when you've already made a successful update? AFAIK, freebsd-update checks for updates by comparing your current system with any newer version every time it runs.

Maybe they're used for rollbacks? Dunno.

You can backup the files, erase them and run freebsd-update for a test
