I have run out of disk space on my cluster machine. Doing du -h --max-depth=20 | sort -hr > size_of_folders.txt reveals that there is a directory called ./miniconda3/pkgs that is taking up 22Gbs. Looking in this folder at the subfolders, I don't know what most of these . For example here are the top 50 entries:

Can someone explain if these are deletable? These recognisable packages - such as pandas and scipy - have strange suffixes and I'm not sure if they're deletable.

I presume I can delete the cache but I'm not sure about the rest.

  • This may help: [is-it-safe-to-manually-delete-all-files-in-pkgs-folder-in-anaconda-python](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/56266229/is-it-safe-to-manually-delete-all-files-in-pkgs-folder-in-anaconda-python) To sum up a few points - you won't achieve much if these cached files are used by conda environments - they will just be installed again. If they are not being used, a better option (if possible) is to use a conda clean command to remove unused packages. If conda is not being used at all you could of course safely delete everything ... – topsail Jan 12 '23 at 02:32
