I'm trying to downgrade the entire system by changing the
/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
to only contain
Server = https://archive.archlinux.org/repos/2021/10/01/$repo/os/$arch
and then
sudo pacman -Syyuu
This is the error that I get: https://pastebin.com/FQR0kDUG
In the end, it says no packages were upgraded (downgraded).
I even tried to pacman -R cheese
but I still get the error.

You need to remove webkit2gtk-4.1 and libcheese (not cheese). You can (re)install webkit2gtk and cheese again after the downgrade if needed.

Thank you for the suggestion.
I tried this with
sudo pacman -Rdd webkit2gtk
error: target not found: webkit2gtk
EDIT:
I removed webkit2gtk-4.1 successfully. not webkit2gtk. Now I don't get those errors anymore.
I am now left with these errors:
228/228) checking for file conflicts [########################################] 100%
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
/usr/bin/cvt exists in both 'xorg-server' and 'libxcvt'
/usr/share/man/man1/cvt.1.gz exists in both 'xorg-server' and 'libxcvt'
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
any suggestions here?
already tried to delete them
ls /usr/bin/cvt
ls: cannot access '/usr/bin/cvt': No such file or directory
ls /usr/share/man/man1/cvt.1.gz
ls: cannot access '/usr/share/man/man1/cvt.1.gz': No such file or directory

Then remove the one that you didn't have installed a month ago when they conflicted (I'd guess libxcvt).
Deleting *files* is not relevant here. You are downgrading current packages to an earlier state, but you currently have co-installed packages that could not have formerly been co-installed due to a conflict. There are not conflicting files *currently* on your system, but the same files are provided by old versions of two packages you have currently installed. One of those must have been installed recently.
