After a month of updates, I started seeing warnings about the size of the

gigs in PackageKit's Fedora 24 directory.
What would be a good course of action?
I'm reluctant to use root to just delete the files, assuming that they are
in some PackageKit database somewhere.
Is there another step that should be added to the DNF system upgrade
document to have this directory cleaned?
dnf clean packages
For other options: 'man dnf' and look under 'clean'.
That won't have any effect on the packagekit cache. Packagekit doesn't
clean up old packages that it has downloaded but not installed.
Deleting /var/cache/PackageKit will have no bad effect other than
packagekit will have to download the repo metadata again.
