Sometimes, depending on the storage media below, it takes time
to remove the old directory. So it's faster that way and both
the removal and the -update can be done in parallel.

From time to time, there are tens of thousands of files directly in
this directory, and using * ends up saying that the argument list is too
long.

I believe you asked about pkg cache files which are completely different
than freebsd-update cache files.

Out of curiosity, why not just:

~ # rm -rf /var/db/freebsd-update/*

Is there a reason you're moving the directory and creating a new, empty
one?

I have those files in /var/db/freebsd-update/

And if I want to clean them up, I do:

cd /var/db
mv freebsd-update fbsd-up-old
mkdir freebsd-update
chmod 700 freebsd-update
rm -rf fbsd-up-old

I wrote about this before, and was told to use "pkg clean" to clean up old 
files which I now do every week, but...
