I wouldn't do that without research. Sometimes old packages will be
re-used with a new release, as there wasn't any need to recompile them.
Yes, research is required. Especially in the event one may be using some of them.
I would not willy-nilly erase all of them.
But, reading the DNF man page:
Lists extras, that is packages installed on the system that are not available in any known repository.
And some cursory checks on an F30 system:
[egreshko@meimei ~]$ dnf info empathy

Error: No matching Packages to list
[egreshko@meimei ~]$ dnf info jpathwatch

Suggest some of them may not be available in the F30 repos.
But some of them are....
[egreshko@meimei ~]$ dnf info beignet

So, one wonders why that package showed up as "extra".
