/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.

Do you know why there was "3 installations of Anaconda" there to begin with ?

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.
