I deleted the 64 bit directory, that was 700 Mbyte. Now the 32 bit
directory is still taking 700 Mbyte. It would be useful to find out how
to reduce that.

I don't really want to use the MSYS2 console, it's like using Linux on a
Windows system. When doing "pwd" I see a different home directory,
among other surprises. I prefer using the Windows console, since that
