You have various options...

In the garnome dir (where you see bootstrap, gnome, etc...) you can do

	rm -rf */*/{cookies,work}

And then it should rebuild.


A more elegant solution is to edit gar.conf.mk, uncomment the  
definition of GARCHIVEDIR, and point it to a directory where you have  
write permission and sufficient room.  Then you should be able to do -

	make deep-garchive

to move all your downloads to the safe location, and then you can do -

	make deep-clean

to clean up all your build directories.  The last runs for a while,  
since it re-traces parts of the tree multiple times, so I usuall do -

	make deep-clean > /dev/null


The first method will be much the easiest for doing this once, but  
setting up a GARCHIVEDIR is very useful over the long run.
