I would think you could get rid of them but until you get a more definitive answer, you can clean them out with:

sudo dnf4 clean all

That should clean out all the old dnf4 cruft.

It also looks like there may be both dnf4 and dnf5 files in /var/lib/dnf.  It would be interesting to know if any of those can be deleted.  Plus there are log files for both dnf versions in /var/log.
