Cleaning the home cache in Arch and Arch derivatives
Posted: 17 Aug 2020, 11:16
I had this Laptop with Manjaro installed and I could not update because the disk was full... so there was not enough space for the upgrade. 
Normally I clean the pacman cache in these situations with
sudo pacman -Scc
But that was not enough so I had a look at the /home cache.
This is done like this:
sudo du -sh ~/.cache/
..and it was 1.5 GB!!!
So time to remove it then:
And after that my beloved pacman -Syu worked like a charm and upgraded the system.
