abs never deleted anything, so this might have happened before, but you
didn't notice. You can delete them yourself to make it look clean again.

All those packages are in the extra repository now. Make sure you use
the same mirror for both core and extra, and maybe wait another day for
your mirror to sync.

pacman doesn't delete the /var/lib/pacman/current directory on its own,
even if you remove it from pacman.conf. It will simply ignore it, but
you can delete it if you want.
