[Solved] Removing /var/abs should be save?

Hello!

Just a question for mere confidence. Can I remove /var/abs, after I removed abs with pacman -Rns abs. The directory is not owned by the package.

Thank you

If you're not using it for anything, then it's safe to remove it. Even if you do use it for, e.g. building packages, there's nothing inherently special about that directory, you can move everything you want to keep elsewhere and delete the rest.
