Hi all,

this is important, I was surprised when I checked that .julia has 3 GB of size and conda is the biggest one, if I delete conda will it be okay?

If I want packages installed here, can I move the packages folder to another computer safely or should I do another installation ?  
**Computer A(this one has internet & Julia packages), I want to move the Julia+packages to computer B(without internet).**

I can reinstall conda if it is needed later or perhaps I won’t if I only use Plots, Plotly, GR, Makie…

Maybe try `]gc` first?
