Most likely because that version is still in the tree. It by default |
| 31 |
saves the version still in the tree, even if they are not installed. I |
| 32 |
assume that is in case you need to go back to a previous version. You |
| 33 |
may be interested in this. |

-d, --deep only keep the minimum for a reinstallation |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
Try man eclean for even more options. I use the -d when I know what I |
| 38 |
am using is stable enough I won't need to go back a version. |

By the way, it does the same for packages as well. |

Hope that helps. |
