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.
"dnf (or yum) clean all" only clean for the CURRENT fedora. Your "du -s"
commands are from /var/cache, and since you didn't specify walking
down the tree (e.g. "du -hs *"), we don't know which directories under
dnf and yum are sucking up the space.
Since further down in your post you say the machine has gone from F19
through F22, you probably have a lot of cruft left over from those
previous Fedoras. I'd recommend you do:
dnf clean all --releasever=19 --enablerepo=\*
dnf clean all --releasever=20 --enablerepo=\*
dnf clean all --releasever=21 --enablerepo=\*
and see if that helps.

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.
