Hello all -
Just a quick question, I am new to FreeBSD and stood up a server to run Plex. I wanted to clean up my ports/files using the "make check-old" from /usr/src context. Unfortunately all these commands fail with:
Code: 
root@PLEX-MINI:/usr/src # cd /usr/src
root@PLEX-MINI:/usr/src # make check-old
make: don't know how to make check-old. Stop

make: stopped in /usr/src
Can someone shed some light on what I am missing? Thank you for your support.
 
/usr/src only holds source files for the "base" FreeBSD installation, and unless you updated that by doing something like what is described in the handbook section on updating FreeBSD from source, there is nothing for make check-old to do. Ported applications, like Plex, would have been installed either by using the pkg command (and you would use that same command to clean up or remove old things) or by building them from the ports collection in/usr/ports (and you would use make clean in the appropriate spot to clean things up).
