Description

I currently have 28 tarballs in ~/.asdf/plugins/erlang/kerl-home/archives taking up 1.6 GB of space for only three versions of Erlang installed. Can any or all of these files be deleted? Is there a cleanup command somewhere that I'm missing?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Check if there is an existing command to clean kerl archives. If not, consider implementing a 'clean' subcommand or documenting manual cleanup steps.
