Hi,

I have been trying to use rpm or dnf to remove some rpms.
I'd use dnf. It provides a much wider safety net.
I have always assumed that using rpm -e will mess up dnf. so I never use rpm for any operation that modifies the system. I think I shot off a foot a decade or so ago doing that.
I usually will from time to time, erase the /var/cache/dnf directory, then run 'dnf makecache'. This does to my knowledge, erase many dnf config and status files. Running the makecache rebuilds the database. This is updated frequently when you run dnf. You can too run the dnf clear option too.
