[question] Cleaning up leftover folders in conan cache?

[vstumpf-te]

What is your question?

I'm starting to migrate to conan 2 and after about 20 attempts at building a conan package, it finally succeeded! However, when I look at my conan cache, I see a bunch of leftover directories:

$ ls /mnt/conan/.conan2/p
b                   break0f2112a0eedf9  break2f939cd915d06  break51319c1ae9dae  break80529935b0392  break946f84f8505ad  breake33bbe6f38faf  breakf4a3f4e3fca72

break0d3fda60fa5e9  break16f371ff9b7ea  break3c070a47fd316  break6f7ab2a114e31  break86eaaa1765abb  breakafc3329cd09f6  breake6e2651eca54d  log4c4ac395bb825fb

If I understand correctly, the b directory contains the built packages.

I ran a conan cache clean but it only removed the t directory (and upon further research, the d and s directories of these leftover directories)

All of the other directories have e and es directories and sometimes an s.dirty file. I assume these are exports and exports_sources directories, based on the contents.

Are these safe to delete? Why didn't the conan cache clean remove these directories for me?
