After installing pacman packages (last one was ‘ungoogled-chromium’) my root partition of 20GB is completly full. Now I can’t update new packages.

My partition structure is: root (20GB) /home (470GB) swap (10GB)

How can I delete the garbage that is piling up in my root, and how to prevent it from happening again.

    You can start to delete pachage caches, and see how much you gain… If not done often you can have a pile of old stuff. Check out the paccache arch wiki page for more info!

      This. You might have to clear up some space before installing pacman-contrib though.

      paccache -rk1 once in a while and you’re good, maybe even create a hook
