Pacman remove
A quick question regarding pacman.
I hope you guys can help me understand this.
When you remove a program with pacman you use
pacman -R package_name
After removing the package, once I re-install it and I noticed that pacman didnt download anything.
Does this mean that pacman saves the program somewhere in case that I re-install it?
And the true question,
Is there a way to completely remove a program?
even if this means to download it again.

Re: Pacman remove
Downloaded packages are store in a cache (/var/cache/pacman/pkg). You can use "pacman -Scc" to clear those and "pacman -Sc" to only delete the ones that you do not have installed (depending on your configuration - see "man pacman.conf")
