    I've just checked this folder and the dnf clean all didn't remove
    the contents of the folder, and it looks to be info for all the
    repositories I have. It may have been created when I had the
    python3-dnf-plugins-local package installed as one of the
    sub-folders is prefix by _dnf_local_, hence I'm surprised dnf clean
    all didn't remove the contents, although dnf5 doesn't put is cache
    in that folder so what I'm seeing may not be a surprise to other
    people, hence the /var/tmp folder may have been created by dnf4. I
    can delete the folder manually, but is this sort of thing normal
    when upgrading from say F40 to F41?
    
    regards,
    Steve
