It is slightly disturbing, because there is something to delete like > "/usr/sbin/cd|alias" which I consider as Shell commands ... ;-) You may want to check for the likes of (a main [so: 16] example context used for illustration): # ls -dC1 /var/cache/pkg/FreeBSD-*.pkg /var/cache/pkg/FreeBSD-acct-16.snap20251112131218.pkg /var/cache/pkg/FreeBSD-acct-16.snap20251112131218~d117264470.pkg . . . As I understand such FreeBSD-*.pkg files/links would now be wasted file system space usage. If true and you have such, you may want to delete them. 'make delete-old' may not do so. === Mark Millard marklmi at yahoo.comhome | help
