looks at the output of: # pkg_delete -a -n it will told you the list of packages that doesn't depends of manual installed packages. in this list, you should have packages like .libs-firefox-57 it is left over packages after upgrades. the libraries are kept as you could have local program linked against them (and if the libraries are removed, they will not work anymore). once you identified the packages you want to remove, just remove them: # pkg_delete .libs-firefox-57 .libs-firefox-58 .libs-firefox-59 Thanks. -- Sebastien Marie
