[SOLVED] Unable to install cinnamon....

Hey, I decided I'd try out gnome. So I deleted cinnamon and installed gnome, after which I decided I don't like it.
I tried converting back to cinnamon but when I try installing it, this appears:
cinnamon: /usr/share/a_directory exists in filesystem * idk how many but a lot
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
Plz help a nub out

Cinnamon is showing on my display manager, lightdm, but pacman claims cinnamon isn't installed
(Just in case that info is of any use)

First figure out what package, if any, owns that file.
pacman -Qo that_file_path

How did you "delete" cinnamon in the first place?
