pacman never touches your $HOME, that's your responsibility.
Read man pacman for full details about the -n/--nosave flag.

Re: Delete program config from packages deleted
There are packages in the AUR that can assist you. Search for things like "dotfiles". In my opinion, it's easier to just remove the ones you know you don't need.
This command will help you by telling you which directories take up the most space:
du -s .??* | sort -nOffline
