My system compalined of a low disk space on filesystem root.
Root consists of 50GB,
df -h showed an usage of 100%.
I did some cleaning, : dnf clean all, removed an kernel (there were
three), removed a lot op files in /tmp and I ran Beachbit.
I have gained some room:
$ df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
devtmpfs 2.0G 0 2.0G 0% /dev
tmpfs 2.0G 284K 2.0G 1% /dev/shm
tmpfs 2.0G 9.6M 2.0G 1% /run
tmpfs 2.0G 0 2.0G 0% /sys/fs/cgroup
/dev/mapper/vg_cello-lv_root 50G 35G 13G 74% /
tmpfs 2.0G 96K 2.0G 1% /tmp
/dev/sda5 477M 147M 302M 33% /boot
/dev/mapper/vg_cello-lv_home 387G 165G 203G 45% /home
tmpfs 396M 24K 396M 1% /run/user/42
tmpfs 396M 28K 396M 1% /run/user/500
Still there is a lot inside root.
It seems that /var/cache consumes a lot of room: PackageKit and yum.
$ su -c "du --max-depth=1 -m -x /var/cache"

Now I am not sure what to do. I want to delete unnecessary files. But
here my knowledge of the filesystem ends. Probably a stupid question,
but I am going to ask anyway; can I delete /var/cache/PackageKit, or
will that ruin my system?
