Error: Can't rollback failed compile.

I've searched the forums and can't seem to find a solution, I'm hoping this is the correct forum to post my problem.

I attempted to install MongoDb from AUR but I ran out of disk space. I attempted

yay -Rsn

but it didn't work. My disk is now 95% full and I'm unsure how to remove the compilation files that have been abandoned on my system. If someone could point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it.

Thanks,

See `man yay` BUILD DIRECTORY and CACHE DIRECTORY please also reconsider using an AUR helper.

Yay stores its cache in ~/.cache/yay.You can delete everything in there. If you don't have a very big disk, you may also want to look into pacman's cache, which by default grows without limit.
