After installing pacman packages (last one was 'ungoogled-chromium') my root partition of 20GB is completly full. Now I can't update new packages.

My partition structure is: root (20GB) /home (470GB) swap (10GB)

How can I delete the garbage that is piling up in my root, and how to prevent it from happening again.

One quick suggestion is running sudo pacman -Sc. Also switch to flatpak on some apps since these are stored in /home. If these don't work/are not suitable to your situation, give more information like mentioned on the other comments.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
