This is a problem that has existed for a long time, and is starting to
get really annoying. I'm running F22 and when I do an update the
directories /var/cache/dnf and /var/cache/yum fill up and there doesn't
seem to be any way to clean them out.
cd /var/cache
cd yum/x86_64/22
ls -l

Still no change. How do I remove the data?
Any help is appreciated.
Just in case this has anything to do with it this system has been
upgraded from 19 -> 20 -> 21 -> 22 using fedup.
