Description

Pacman package caches can be cleaned to recover disk space while keeping selected package versions available for rollback. This is useful for Arch-based systems where cached downloads grow over time.

It is a package-cache maintenance tool. Removing too much cache can make downgrades or offline reinstalls harder, so users should choose retention settings deliberately.
