FYI DNF-1.1.8 changes clean behavior [1] which is releasever and repo agnostic. I.e. "dnf clean all" should remove all your cache within /var/cache/dnf dir. DNF-1.1.8 should be available form F22+ in updates-testing. You can try it. Doing "rm -fr /var/cache/dnf" should not harm DNF but "dnf clean all" is proffered.
