I have about 3GB in /var/cache/private/pamac/ and seems there’s no way to get rid of it. How can I clean that?
I don’t have this folder. However, what error message appears when you remove it as root?
sudo rm -r /var/cache/private/pamac
… probably none 
but more important would be:
what is in there?
Probably some remnants from building AUR packages - but I don’t know
It’s easy to check.
It’s equally easy to just move it
(so you still have it - and can see and revert the possible unintended effects)
instead of just … deleting it.
It is a directory owned by root.

No error when removing it as root.
of course not
but now it’s gone
and you can’t have it back when something malfunctions because it does not exist anymore
… too late now

It’s just temp files from pamac which I don’t need anymore.
Good!
It looked like it, but I was not sure.
It’s strange that these will accumulate … without a means to get rid of them via the pamac GUI.
