Default Re: Purge Pending Repository Downloads?

They could be dependencies you need. i.e if you install a and it needs b that then needs c you'll need ab and c to run a.

It's unlikely to be installing anything you don't need, though some dependencies are a little superfluous but there is nothing you can do as a novice user. Just accept them and move on.

Linux doesn't install static libs it uses system libs which is one of the fundamental differences between linux and windows.

Apologies if I'm preaching to the choir..
