Opkg install failed, free space was still used

Hello!
I've been trying to make some experiments with some software avalaible on the opkg list.
I tried to install "netdiscover" but I didn't realise that the free space was so little.
So, of course the install failed... But the free space that was avalaible before was taken!
And "netdiscover" is not on the installed software list... So I lost my free space to nothing..
There must be some incomplete install somewhere.. But how can i free that space?

There are many dependencies for various packages. Those must be installed before the desired package, so those will consume space. If the install fails due to running out of space, usually a bunch of dependencies were installed successfully prior to your storage filling up.
