    It looks like yay was storing AUR build files there, that folder took up about 160 of the 164GiB

      You can use yay -Sc to clean the cache. It’ll also ask you if you want to clean the pacman cache, which I’m assuming you also haven’t cleaned (check the size of /var/cache/pacman).

        One would just need to modify the pacman cache hook for yay. I’m too lazy tho.
