After I install OpenCV on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS I realized that there are triplicate folders in anaconda/lib directory. Should I delete them?

anaconda/lib folder

  • No, do not delete them. These are different versions of the library that other programs may link to. If you do `ls -la` on that folder, you will see that two of the files are "links" to the third, in other words, they don't take up any space. – darthbith Jul 07 '19 at 01:43

If you want to free up space, and anaconda uses a lot of disk space, you can do:

conda clear -all

This will remove stored, but already installed tarballs, old packages that were upgraded and are kept "just in case!", and free up the svn cache, hg cache, git cache, and source cache.
