[solved] I cannot upgrade packages, python files conflict

Hi!
I was trying to upgrade packages today and I got this error while

(114/114) checking file conflicts [######################################## ################################################## ###########] 100%
Error: failed operation (conflicting files)
Python-configobj: /usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/__pycache__/_version.cpython-36.pyc exists in the file system
Python-configobj: /usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/__pycache__/configobj.cpython-36.pyc exists in the file system
Python-configobj: /usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/__pycache__/validate.cpython-36.pyc exists in the file system
Python-configobj: /usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/_version.py exists in the file system
Python-configobj: /usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/configobj-5.0.6-py3.6.egg-info exists in the file system
Python-configobj: /usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/configobj.py exists in the file system
Python-configobj: /usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/validate.py exists in the file system
Errors occurred, so the packages were not updated

Do I have to remove these files?
