Reading the man page of pkg clean via man pkg-clean of pkg help clean would have
given you, to quote some part of it:

[...]
    pkg clean is used to cleanup the local cache of packages downloaded from
    remote repositories.  It removes packages that have been superseded by
    newer versions, and any packages that are no longer provided.

[...]

     -a, --all
              Delete all cached packages.

[...]
