I noticed that successive versions of packages have been accumulating in my ~/.emacs.d/elpa folder, like so:
drwxr-xr-x 3 joon users 4,0K 20 avril 15:49 auto-complete-20150408.1132
drwxr-xr-x 3 joon users 4,0K 16 juin 17:14 auto-complete-20150615.34
drwxr-xr-x 3 joon users 4,0K 1 juil. 18:00 auto-complete-20150618.1949
drwxr-xr-x 2 joon users 4,0K 31 mai 21:53 avy-20150530.111
drwxr-xr-x 2 joon users 4,0K 4 juin 16:42 avy-20150603.919
drwxr-xr-x 2 joon users 4,0K 12 juin 17:07 avy-20150608.404
drwxr-xr-x 2 joon users 4,0K 16 juin 17:14 avy-20150615.1048
drwxr-xr-x 2 joon users 4,0K 1 juil. 18:00 avy-20150701.532
drwxr-xr-x 2 joon users 4,0K 7 juil. 19:53 avy-20150707.811
Is this normal? Is there a quick way to get rid of old versions ?
