I have 5.8 GB *.dsc, .*orig.tar.xz and *.debian.tar.xz files in /var/cache/apt/sources. Is it safe to remove them? What ist the proper way to remove them? Is there an apt command to do this?
I already removed the deb-src lines from /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.list.
Thank you guys.

There is no such directory in a standard Debian or siduction system. Do you mean /var/cache/apt/archives? In a root terminal, issue
apt-get clean and then check again with du for excessive disk usage.
As an less comprehensive deletion you may issue: apt-get autoclean
I actually mean /var/cache/apt/sources. And I tried apt-get clean but this has no effect on the files in /var/cache/apt/sources. I have no idea why I have such a directory. Maybe I did something I can not remember.
Thanks
