When fink finishes building a package, it cleans up by removing the 
build directory (unless you use the -k or -K flags to tell fink to keep 
the build directories). But if you interrupt the build process midway as 
you did, the build directory remains. Have a look at /sw/src/fink.build, 
where these build directories reside.

Fink also keeps all the downloaded sources in /sw/src, unless you use 
"fink cleanup", see "man fink".

If you have problems with disk space, you can remove everything in 
/sw/src, except the directory /sw/src/fink.build.
