After my most recent sudo dnf upgrade,

Previously when my /var ran low,
the problem was a directory named cache that I could just remove.

I did that and did not like what I found.
All about how to live with it.
Flatpak is its own thing, and as far as I know, it's not managed by
dnf. I don't use it to be familar with how Fedora is doing it, but it
has its own management commands.
The way flatpaks work, it *is* going to be a space-wasting thing. But
if you really are not using any of them, you ought to be able to remove
a lot of their files, if not all of them. And probably reconfigure dnf
to ignore them.
Though the question will be, are you actually using some flatpak things
without realising it?
sudo flatpak list
produces no putput.
but flatpak is still using 4.0G in my /var partition.
That is the only time I ever typed flatpak as a command.
Also
sudo dnf repoquery --whatrequires flatpack

I do not know how to interpret the last two columns.
