Step 2: Removing Docs and Samples Package
Disk space regained in typical setup by removing docs/sample packages
| JetPack 5.0.1 DP (Rel 34.1.1) Jetson AGX Orin Developer Kit |
JetPack 4.6.2 (Rel 32.7.2) Jetson AGX Xavier Developer Kit |
JetPack 4.6.1 (Rel 32.7.1) Jetson Xavier NX Developer Kit |

1.0 GB | 1.1 GB | 1.1 GB |
If you have installed all the JetPack components (libraries and SDKs) all at once either with “sudo apt install nvidia-jetpack” command or using SDK Manager to install by simply selecting all to install, you are likely to have some packages that you don’t need for your application.
Earlier analysis of disk usage provides a good idea what component is taking up major parts of the disk space.
Pre-check
First, check the size of installed packages that are either sample or documentation.
dpkg-query -Wf '${Installed-Size;8} KiB \t${Package;-30}\t${binary:Summary}\n' | grep -E "(sample|doc)"
