NAME
pkg clean - clean the local cache of fetched remote packages
SYNOPSIS
pkg clean [-anqy]
pkg clean [--{all,dry-run,quiet,yes}]
DESCRIPTION
pkg clean is used to cleanup the local cache of packages downloaded from
remote repositories. It removes packages that have been superseded by
newer versions, and any packages that are no longer provided.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported by pkg clean:
-a, --all
Delete all cached packages including those, which have not been
superseded by newer versions yet and are still in use.
-n, --dry-run
Do not delete any package files from the cache, but show what would
be done instead. Forces the preview of the packages that would be
deleted to be shown, even when used with -y. Note: the package cache
file permissions only permit root access. Results will be
disappointing for any other user.
-q, --quiet
Be quiet. Suppress most output. All output is suppressed if -y is
also used.
-y, --yes
Assume a yes answer instead of asking for confirmation before
deleting any out of date or redundant packages from the cache.

The following environment variables affect the execution of pkg clean.
See pkg.conf(5) for further description.
