Just delete the ~/garnome and garnome-2.x.x dir and garnome will be
gone.

Read the FAQ:

To save disk space you can also uncomment the BUILD_CLEAN variable in
gar.conf.mk. But 66GB is more than enough.

This has been asked a few times but determining how much disk space is
required is kind of hard since it depends on what you want to install
(i.e. desktop and platform only, geektoys, etc.) Also, I don't know that
there is an easy way for us to do a check for disk space.
