Basics

• In arch based never do pacman -Sy. always do pacman -S or pacman -Sy bcz if repos are partially updated then it will break things
• list all packages with sizes sorted with size too pacman -Qi | awk '/^Name/{name=$3}/^Installed Size/{size=$4; unit=$5; if(unit=="MiB") size*=1024; print name, size, unit}' | sort -k2,2nr | awk '{size=$2; unit=$3; if(size>=1048576) {printf "%-30s %.2f GiB\n", $1, size/1048576} else if(size>=1024) {printf "%-30s %.2f MiB\n", $1, size/1024} else {printf "%-30s %d KiB\n", $1, size}}' mentioning packages with size with no sorting pacman -Qi | awk '/^Name/{name=$3}/^Installed Size/{size=$4 " " $5; print name, size}'
• list orphan package pacman -Qdt to remove them run pacman -Rns $(pacman -Qdtq)
