alias up=‘yay -Pw && yay -Syyu && flatpak update && flatpak uninstall --unused’
That shouldn’t matter but try this:
/usr/bin/yay --cleanmenu
Nope. Same thing.
What does yay -Pg return?
─❯ yay -Pg

You aren’t seeing either of these menus even though they are present in your config…
I guess you can fix it with rm -rf ~/.cache/yay/librewolf-bin but I don’t understand why yay is ignoring your preferences…
That dit it. Thanks, @dalto!
I told you. Clean your cache 
That is the nuclear option but it isn’t really the best option.
If it was me, I would be trying to figure out why yay was ignoring both my command line options and my config.
Because the alias contains -Syyu && which finishes the yay command, then it moves on the the flatpak commands - so the yay --cleanmenu option, which is applied to the end of the alias, cannot affect yay?
But he tried running /usr/bin/yay -cleanmenu directly…
But I didn’t use the alias in this case. I just used yay.
Ah, I missed that. Yeah, very odd.
EDIT: This was supposed to be a reply to Dalto’s /usr/bin/yay -cleanmenu post.
I know that. I don’t want to act like I know better. I even put a winking smiley face after it.
I thought I did when I did this…
CLEAN CACHE (All Packages):
paccache -rvk2
CLEAN CACHE (Uninstalled Packages):
paccache -ruk0
That is for the pacman cache, not yay
This is another cache.
yay cache is for builduing yay packages in that cache folder
Yeah, that is a bit concerning.
that worked for me as well, thanks
