My 2G USB stick crash after Pacman -Syu

I want my 2G usb stick install a archlinux.
It is very difficult to install a workable GUI interface with just 2G bytes.
Finally, I succeed by choosing minimal package set carefully.

I only left a few M bytes space.
When I 'pacman -Syu', my file system full.

My question is:
1. How to prevent out of space when upgrade system?
2. How can I recover it?

you should try cleaning out the pacman cache.

Re: My 2G USB stick crash after Pacman -Syu

In fact, I've two USB stick, the cache directory has already moved to another USB stick.
But, /usr/bin still full.

And I found some pacman information seems missing after the disk full.
I don't know how to recover my OS.  Some package seems out of work.
