Thanks for your reply. The "pkg_delete -an" did the trick: I saved some
GB with this.
I have one (somewhat) related question left: is possible to capture the
output of pkg_delete -an in a file? I tried the following (without
luck):
$ pkg_delete -an > /tmp/foo
$ pkg_delete -an > /tmp/foo 2>&1

Yes I know :-) I always have to look that up mostly to change DUID in
/etc/fstab.
