You can refer Arch Wiki for general usage of the pacman command: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/pacman To remove x64_86 toolchain, try: pacman -R mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain or: pacman -R toolchain:x Also you can clean the package cache. The downloaded packages are stored in the C:\msys64\var\cache\pacman\pkg directory. See the following part for how to clean it: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/pacman#Cleaning_the_package_cache (Or you can remove the files manually.

Okay, but some other people want to use the MSYS2 console. We might be able to improve the instructions for those people.
