You can find instructions from Apple for how to remove those if you wish. Xcode takes an extraordinary amount of disk space these days. The command line tools are fairly small. Xcode sometimes creates CoreSimulator caches which are fairly large. MacPorts does not need these caches but we have not been able to suppress their creation. See ticket #67592. You can delete these caches. If your computer needed to allocate swap space for virtual memory while building, it's possible that some of it is still allocated. You can clear any allocated swap space by restarting your computer. This also deletes any temporary files that might not have been removed by their creators.

On 2023-10-11 at 07:22:44 UTC-0400 (Wed, 11 Oct 2023 11:22:44 +) Michal Sidorczyk is rumored to have said: Hi, Very much thanks for very prompt answer. So, I did reinstall the macports to Sonoma version, and then I followed this instruction: https://guide.macports.org/chunked/installing.macports.uninstalling.html to remove macports completely. However, /opt/local still contains data (I assume it is all macports related) and it is 2.7GB big. Then something went wrong. Those instructions include totally removing /opt/local/ in section 2.4.3. Can I just remove it manually safely? If you want MacPorts and everything it ever installed totally gone, yes. Doing so is part of the uninstall instructions. Moreover, it seems the uninstall procedure is pretty far from cleaning everything. As you can see in section 2.4.3 of the guide, removal of /opt/local (along with a list of other possible locations where ports could have left pieces) is explicitly a part of the uninstall procedure. Why that failed to happen on your system is a mystery. As I said installation of gmic-gimp port alone took 10GB. Not even mentioning the other part of macports. Now, after removal of all the ports, only 3GB of disk space was released. Adding 2.7GB from /opt/local makes it 5-6GB the top. Are there any other macports’ leftovers I should remove manually?
