pkg clean question
Amd64, 9.3. Updated few times, packages also. At first I found on laptop that /var directory was at 102%. Using pkg clean i removed about 400mb of cache packages from /var/cache/pkg. Tried to clean desktop cache and the out- put of the command was nothing to do. I see about 400 mb of files in the cache directory. Is it safe to remove them by the hand?

Use pkg clean -ay to delete all cached packages, not just the ones that are no longer current or provided by the upstream repository.

You may want to autoremove, too: autoremove Delete packages which were automatically installed as dependen- cies and are not required any more. Cheers, Paul. Note that since recent updates of pkg there is a new AUTOCLEAN option to add in pkg.conf which will automatically cleanup the cache after each pkg operation.
