Pretty sure that looks like pacman output.
Keep in mind you also need to run something like
paccache --remove --keep 2for space savings.TroPixens@reddit
What exactly does this command do
GamesRevolution@reddit
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.
Far_Piano4176@reddit
so anyone who's using snapper, for example, should definitely enable this timer
gliese89@reddit
Try ‘man paccache’. And then you can try ‘/—remove’ to learn more.

==> finished: 712 packages removed (disk space saved: 3.41 GiB)hey, thanks man
EvaristeGalois11@reddit
Just enable paccache.timer, it will do it periodically
Emeraudias@reddit
Do you know if the command with -Sc accomplishes the same? I'm using yay
suksukulent@reddit
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.

It's wild how you can download so much data and still gain some space.
Pacman is magic.

within the intervals of 2-3 days, my wife will ask me why the wifi suddenly freezes. I blames the IPS instead of my linux updating 😅

Damn, updates in 2025 are only bringing more trash and waste my space.
