    Viewing and Removing Orphans

    To list all orphans, installed packages that are not used by


    anything else and should no longer be needed:

    pacman -Qdt

    To remove all the orphans:

    sudo pacman -Rs $(pacman -Qdtq)

    Cleaning the Cache

    When pacman installs packages, it keeps a copy of all the old


    packages you have downloaded. This cache can be very useful if you
    have to install older packages in an emergency. However, left
    unchecked, this cache will grow very large over time. Systems
    running Pamac will already have access to its automated pacman
    cache cleaning functions. It is also possible to clean them
    manually using pacman.

    To clear the cache of packages that are no longer installed, enter the following command:
    sudo pacman -Sc

    Otherwise, to clear the cache completely, enter the following


    command (and use with care):

    sudo pacman -Scc

    A safer way to remove old package cache files is to remove all


    packages except for the latest three package versions using
    paccache:

    paccache -rvk3
