Reducing the Size of Your Magento Install

Yes, it’s safe to delete that data. I always clear it out after an upgrade:
rm -rf downloader/pearlib/cache/* downloader/pearlib/download/*
Basically when you are upgrading and installing, your downloader folder will become very large, and you are safe to clean out the two following folders:
- /downloader/pearlib/cache
- /downloader/pearlib/download
