I was updating my KDE with emerge -U kde, it compiled for almost 24 hours when it hit an error.
I tried emerge --resume and it errored again, I tried to redo emerge -u kde (instead of a -U) and it failed on a size problem, claiming it didn't have enough room. Apperently the emerge -U kde took up 4GB?
This doesn't seem right, but how can remove the files that were created and took up all the space, where are they saved? I resized my linux partition, but I would still like these files removed unless I can just continue from where I left off and the space will get freed after the emerge process.
I am sorry if this is a stupid question, but I am pretty new to this, and havn't encountered this type of problem before. Thanks

To get rid of the directories where portage unpacks and compiles kde stuff:
| Code: | | rm -rf /var/tmp/portage/kde* |
These dirs are emptied after a successfull emerge, but if the build fails all the sources and partially compiled stuff is left there. |
