During a recent system cleanup (sid, fully-updated), I fount that the ARM-based packages occupy at least 2GB of space:
ryzen@HX90:/usr/lib/arm-none-eabi$ du -hs
2.0G
Since I don't use arm CPU, what is the best way to remove these packages? And make sure they will never be reinstalled?

Re: How to Remove ARM-based packages?
My sid system doesn't have that directory. Seems to be related to ARM development toolkit. Did you do an internet search before posting? You must have installed something to create it, only you can work out what you did.
You could check any installed arm packages:

Re: How to Remove ARM-based packages?
We always use the unofficial non-free hybrid (live) iso to install Debian, it includes the arm packages (at least 1.1G compressed):
ryzen@HX90:~$ cd /media/ryzen/d-live\ nf\ 11.3.0\ gn\ amd64/live/
ryzen@HX90:/media/ryzen/d-live nf 11.3.0 gn amd64/live$ sudo mount filesystem.squashfs /mnt/t1
[sudo] password for ryzen:
ryzen@HX90:/media/ryzen/d-live nf 11.3.0 gn amd64/live$ cd /mnt/t1
ryzen@HX90:/mnt/t1$ du -hs /usr/lib/arm-none-eabi/
1.1G /usr/lib/arm-none-eabi/
We have not experienced any problem after removing this folder.
(I think including the arm packages in the iso is a good thing, end users like us who don't care about arm cpu can always remove them after installation. Please do not change this practice.)
