Hi,

for me this looks as the remains from an interrupted package update.

Everything below /var/cache/pacman/pkg is save to delete as long as
no pacman process is currently
running.

ok willremove

You could even automate that by running "paccache -rk2" after a
system update to only keep the
latest 2 versions of the downloaded / installed packages.

paccache does not delete any folders under /var/cache/pacman/pkg

I think that's normal, given that directories such as download-* are present only if the package download got interrupted (they therefore contain temporary files and not valid cached packages). I usually remove these directories manually.
