Would it be a problem to delete *.tar.gz files in C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\conda\pkgs? I also see subdirectories of Python of the same Python package, but in different versions (e.g., pandas-0.19.2-np111py27_1, pandas-0.19.2-np111py35_1, pandas-0.20.1-np112py27_0, pandas-0.20.1-np112py35_0, pandas-0.20.1-np112py36_0, pandas-0.20.2-np112py27_0, pandas-0.20.2-np112py36_0, pandas-0.20.2-np113py36_0). I currently have two environments (Python 2.7 and 3.6), so I don't want to be wasting storage with different versions of the same package, or for Python versions I'm not currently using (I'm talking GB here!). Is there a proper way of deleting those files/directories (and is there a problem in doing that)?

You can run conda clean --tarballs in your terminal.

Nice, thanks! That got rid of the tarballs. I'm still left with the apparently redundant directories... – Bruno Jun 22 '17 at 20:08

8`conda clean --all` cleans everything, period. – BallpointBen Jun 22 '17 at 20:21
