Can the script add the function of cleaning the downloaded files? The downloaded content also takes up a lot of space.

You can get the default user home directory using ${SUDO_HOME}

For those who have problem with the config in /etc/yaycache-hook.conf as i had this hook enabled but didn't knew that it was not even working.

You need to add entry in cache_dirs ->

cache_dirs=(/home/<user-name>/.cache/yay/*/)

Here <user-name> is important as the hook is a shell script and runs with user-name set to root, so if you don't set the cach_dirs array then by default yaycache will scan the directory /home/root/.cache/yay/*/ which is why it won't work.

yaycache-hook has same problem as https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/paccache-hook#comment-985869.

Here's small example ->

phoenix@ArchLinux ~]$ yaycache -duk0 '--min-mtime=14 days ago'

==> finished dry run: 23 candidates (disk space saved: 1.79 GiB)

[phoenix@ArchLinux ~]$ yaycache -duk0 \'--min-mtime=14 days ago\'
==> no candidate packages found for pruning

Edit: a solution has been found here https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/paccache-hook#comment-988314
