Where does pacman saves the downloaded stuff?

When I first installed a program, it installed but pacman needed to download things, I then remove it but... When I re-install it again, pacman doesn't need to download the things any more...

Where does pacman store the downloaded stuff?
How do I get rid of them?

/var/cache/pacman/pkg

pacman -Sc  or pacman -Scc   

i recommend -Sc ,  -Scc can be harmful in the long run if you ever need to downgrade a package
