Something like 'pacman -Sc' in Arch:

No! If I install a package then uninstall it then "xbps-remove -O" won't remove the package file. If I install, let's say, KDE and GNOME then remove them and decide to install XFCE I will still have several GBs of xbps files for KDE and GNOME. "xbps-remove -O" won't clean them up!

https://man.voidlinux.org/xbps-remove.1 says:

-o, --remove-orphans
Removes installed package orphans that were installed automatically (as dependencies) and are not currently dependencies of any installed package. See --mode auto in xbps-pkgdb(1)
