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?


You're probably using "dnf" to update packages rather than rebooting and letting PackageKit do the work. When you do that, PackageKit will download the updates and never remove them. Updates are only removed when they're applied. If you're using "dnf" you should disable the packagekit service:

systemctl disable packagekit

Having disabled that service, I believe it's safe to delete /var/cache/PackageKit/<release-ver>
