pacman --clean only deletes old packages from /var/cache/pacman/pkg, it doesn't clean up installed packages.

emmm I thought if I run pacman --clean it removes old packages ...

ie if I have

foo.1.tar.gz
foo.2.tar.gz

run pacman --clean it would remove foo.1.tar.gz ???

Or did I read it wrong ....

It works like this:
#pacman -S --clean
or
#pacman -Sc (pacman -Scc to clean all packages).

My Fault I used pacman --clean (first time I have used it)

works fine if I use proper code

pacman -Sc

Sorry about that I thought I was going mad!!!
