Can I delete the package under the pkgs file in anaconda?

There is a pkgs folder under the

Anaconda folder. According to my observation (no official description can be found), there are various used versions of various packages and compressed packages. For example, with conda update pandas, it will be updated to the new version in Lib\ site-packages. But there are both new and old versions in pkgs. I speculate that conda first downloads the package to pkgs, decompresses it, and then updates the package that is officially used in site-packages. So can you delete the things in this pkgs? Can"t you save a lot of space if you delete it?

can be deleted from the command line,

conda clean-p is recommended in the

Google discussion group to delete unused packages; actually conda clean-a is more powerful.
