Hi, I just came across a load near identical openjdk stuff. I’m guessing that most of this is cruft which for some reason is not getting cleared out as updates come thought.
I just wanted to check that I can remove the older micro versions and that they are not retained for a reason. Also any idea what I’m missing that this is piling up anyway?
many thanks , that’s great help. I removed all the ones which were obviously from earlier versions of Fedora. That line pulls up a bunch which all seem to be symlinks, probably created by the installation scripts , so I’m not going to kill them. A couple show up as broken symlinks.

That’s cleaned it up enough. Thanks,
Do you have any idea why this is not getting cleaned out automatically? It seem like this has been building up for 5 or 6 years!
