Two questions, what is kept in there? There is also a /var/pkg/pkg where the packages are kept.

/var/pkg/pkg is where the manifests for packages are kept.
Does that need to be 5GB in size?
The packages are also available in /var/pkg/pkg.
So is it the history of previous releases that are kept there too?
It seems that using beadm to delete a previous boot environment does not lead to a purge of the stored data in
/var/pkg/download
Someone in an earlier reply suggested to use the following command:
# pkg set-property flush-content-cache-on-success true

I'll try later this week and post the results.
