Cleaning pacman

I strongly suggest the use of paccache instead of pacman -Sc. There is even a very effective flag for removing selectively the versions of uninstalled packages -u. The flags of paccache I recommend are (as part of paccache v5.0.2):

pacman -Sy pacman-contrib

-d, --dryrun: perform a dry run, only finding candidate packages
-r, --remove: remove candidate packages
-u, --uninstalled: target uninstalled packages only
-k, --keep : keep "num" of each package in the cache (default: 3)
Example: Check for remaining cache versions of uninstalled packages
paccache -dvuk0
