I will assume that you are using "du" and these numbers are in KB. I recommend using the "-h" parameter to du which gives you nice "human readable" numbers.

1.6GB for the journal doesn't seem that bad. You can change the journald settings if you want it to keep less info.

Anything in /var/cache/yum should be deleted, at least if it's for versions less than you are currently running. It's possible that PackageKit stores some data in there, but I'm not sure.

Looks like you've run "mock" at some point.  Feel free to remove the cache.

This is an old upgrade directory that's not used now.

You'll want to keep this, otherwise the next time you run dnf, it will just download all the metadata again and you'll have the same usage.

This is where most of the space is wasted. PackageKit has an issue where it doesn't delete old packages that were downloaded, but not installed. Delete this. I don't use PackageKit, so I mask the service as well, but that's up you.
