<p>You questions reflect a windows way of thinking of an OS. ;)<br>
</p>
<p>In Linux the situation is a little bit different than you may be
used to.<br>
</p>
<p>When you say "install apps to..." you need to distinguish between</p>
<p>a. where the downloaded packages will be stored<br>
b. where the actual installed files will be copied to</p>
<p>a. is located in /var, while b. varies quite a bit between
different packages. Typically it concerns /usr and /etc, sometimes
/opt<br>
So, wherever you have those mounted on your installation the data
will be physically stored.</p>
<p>The thing with updates accumulating on the disk is also something
that is different than you may be used to.<br>
Although, if you don't do anything, all versions of the updated
packages will be collected in /var/cache/pacman/pkg BUT it's
totally up to you if or how many versions you want to keep there.<br>
To clean out the cache you can use the tool paccache, which
provides some very useful options:</p>
<pre>$ paccache --help
paccache v1.0.0
A flexible pacman cache cleaning utility.
Usage: paccache <operation> [options] [targets...]
Operations:
-d, --dryrun perform a dry run, only finding candidate packages.
-m, --move <dir> move candidate packages to "dir".
-r, --remove remove candidate packages.
Options:
-a, --arch <arch> scan for "arch" (default: all architectures).
-c, --cachedir <dir> scan "dir" for packages. can be used more than once.
(default: read from /etc/pacman.conf).
-f, --force apply force to mv(1) and rm(1) operations.
-h, --help display this help message and exit.
-i, --ignore <pkgs> ignore "pkgs", comma-separated. Alternatively, specify
"-" to read package names from stdin, newline-
delimited.
-k, --keep <num> keep "num" of each package in the cache (default: 3).
--nocolor remove color from output.
-q, --quiet minimize output
-u, --uninstalled target uninstalled packages.
-v, --verbose increase verbosity. specify up to 3 times.
-z, --null use null delimiters for candidate names (only with -v
and -vv).
