.anaconda folder is taking too much space

I have installed anaconda in my D: drive because my SSD(C: drive) is only 128 GB. yesterday I saw that I only left with 9 GB of space in my C: drive and .anaconda is taking 35.9 GB of space to be more specific (.anaconda/navigatior/.anaconda/navigator/scripts/notebook-err-1.txt and notebook-err-2.txt) each of them is around 18 GB. Can I just delete it?

Attaching the image below for reference notebook-err files

You probably should not delete this directly (although it might be safe, IDK). Here are several approaches that should free up quite a bit of memory if you have not used these before:

conda clear -all
Remove stored, but already installed tarballs, old packages that were upgraded and are kept "just in case!?" svn cacne, hg cache, git cache, source cache.

conda clean -all
Remove index cache, lock files, unused cache packages, and tarballs.

conda remove -n myenv scipy
remove a package such as SciPy in an environment such as myenv:

conda remove scipy
remove a package such as SciPy in the current environment:

conda remove --envname
remove virtual environments you do not use.
