I did yay x
again and see the following:

3 libglade (Build Files Exist)
2 python2 (Build Files Exist)
1 netactview (Build Files Exist)
The last part says (Build Files Exist)
. Is there a smart way to cleanup and remove these? pacman -Qtdq | pacman -Rns -
did not help - probably because I used yay to install?
My machine does not have python2 and I aborted the installation because it wanted to install a whole new language. I still don’t have python2 but those build files exist and I suspect they are large. Can I get rid of them?
The installation asked me to enter password to complete near the end, I forced this step to fail. Is there a better way to abort an installation?
Thanks.
