/opt/pkg directory is now the largest file on the server

Hi,
I ran in to the problem that my server space was completely full. After some digging, I realised that for some reason, there was 3 installations of Anaconda installed on this drive taking up a wapping 16G across multiple users.

I am trying to clean up the server back to a bare bones as it is just serving a Django website. I have removed all versions of anaconda, but the /opt/pkg directory is now the largest folder on this server taking up 3.1G of space and there is lots of remnants of anaconda packages in there.

What can I do to clear this out? I am starting a fresh as the only additional things I need on this server other than the out of the box stuff is python3.

So if you have removed anaconda, then is there any reason why you don't just delete these "remnants of anaconda packages" ?

It seems you have only given us a part of the story, and not the whole story.
