It uses all of them, because all installed packages need their |
| 10 |
dependencies. |

It looks like you deleted the source directory without letting portage |
| 21 |
know what you'd done. |

In that case "emerge --prune --ask gentoo-sources" will do what you |
| 31 |
need, but you still need to remove the directories from /usr/src manually |
| 32 |
because emerge only removes the files it installed, not any that were |
| 33 |
created or modified by you, like when you compiled the kernel. |
