Deleting *files* is not relevant here. You are downgrading current packages to an earlier state, but you currently have co-installed packages that could not have formerly been co-installed due to a conflict. There are not conflicting files *currently* on your system, but the same files are provided by old versions of two packages you have currently installed. One of those must have been installed recently.

You need to remove webkit2gtk-4.1 and libcheese (not cheese). You can (re)install webkit2gtk and cheese again after the downgrade if needed.
Thank you for the suggestion.
I tried this with
sudo pacman -Rdd webkit2gtk
error: target not found: webkit2gtk
EDIT:
I removed webkit2gtk-4.1 successfully. not webkit2gtk. Now I don't get those errors anymore.
I am now left with these errors:
228/228) checking for file conflicts [########################################] 100%
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
/usr/bin/cvt exists in both 'xorg-server' and 'libxcvt'
/usr/share/man/man1/cvt.1.gz exists in both 'xorg-server' and 'libxcvt'
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
any suggestions here?
already tried to delete them
ls /usr/bin/cvt
ls: cannot access '/usr/bin/cvt': No such file or directory
ls /usr/share/man/man1/cvt.1.gz
ls: cannot access '/usr/share/man/man1/cvt.1.gz': No such file or directory

]]>/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
to only contain
Server = https://archive.archlinux.org/repos/2021/10/01/$repo/os/$arch
and then
sudo pacman -Syyuu
This is the error that I get: https://pastebin.com/FQR0kDUG
In the end, it says no packages were upgraded (downgraded).
I even tried to pacman -R cheese
but I still get the error.
