Exclude the old installation packages of Synthetic module and ActiveGate

Hello,

To save disk space for managed cluster after updating Dynatrace components, I usually remove the old OneAgent packages, and everything is going well,

Is it safe to remove the old installation packages of Synthetic module and ActiveGate too?? is there any precautions should be taken into consideration?

That should be fine. You'll just need the versions you want to update to. I would remove the Synthetic and ActiveGate versions together, as they're needed as a pair when you install a Synthetic AG. You would want to keep the latest ActiveGate and Synthetic version for each of the major versions you want to install.
