Eu posso responder por apt-get
. De man apt-get
:
clean
clean clears out the local repository of retrieved package files.
It removes everything but the lock file from
/var/cache/apt/archives/ and /var/cache/apt/archives/partial/.
--- *snip* ---
/var/cache/apt/archives/
Storage area for retrieved package files. Configuration Item:
Dir::Cache::Archives.
/var/cache/apt/archives/partial/
Storage area for package files in transit. Configuration Item:
Dir::Cache::Archives (partial will be implicitly appended)
Assim, os arquivos baixados parcialmente por apt-get
residem em /var/cache/apt/archives/partial
e podem ser removidos com a operação clean
.
