archive is not removed after installation #25

I have noticed that downloaded archive is not deleted after successful golang upgrade. Archive is stored as /usr/local/go1.15.5.linux-amd64.tar.gz, had to manually remove it. I imagine that archives would pile up clogging the directory

Yes, the downloaded file is kept as cache:
