Solved Cleaning after upgrade?

[freezr]

Hi guys,

for some reason after upgrading to 14.4 the files weren't deleted automagically.

Can I safely delete the files in the bigger dirs?

du -ah / | sort -rh | head -10
9.5G    /
5.3G    /var
5.1G    /var/db
5.0G    /var/db/freebsd-update/files
5.0G    /var/db/freebsd-update
3.8G    /usr

Thanks...

You can delete everything in /var/db/freebsd-update/ but you won't be able to roll back to a previous update (which is probably fine).

I am good. The system is good. I didn't upgrade yet to 15 but I will move to pkg_base though...

That's normal behavior. They are never removed and there are no Periodic script or cron job that cleans them up. They are preserved in case you need to do a system rollback.

Once you've tested that everything is running smoothly, you can remove everything in there: # rm -r /var/db/freebsd-update/*

I didn't know about it... I learned it hard way...
