Pretty sure that looks like pacman output.

Keep in mind you also need to run something like paccache --remove --keep 2 for space savings.

Removes old versions of packages from the pacman package cache. The package cache is there so downgrades and reinstalls don't need to be downloaded from the internet.

so anyone who's using snapper, for example, should definitely enable this timer

Try ‘man paccache’. And then you can try ‘/—remove’ to learn more.

Just enable paccache.timer, it will do it periodically

Do you know if the command with -Sc accomplishes the same? I'm using yay

Yeah, I think so, but paccache keeps some number, pacman just deletes all. And it also deletes ~/.local/cache/yay/ , where the cloned aur repos live, if I remember it all correctly, but then when updating, you don't get a 'incremental' diff of the pkgbuilds.
