How to dnf clean all of a specific repo?

[Paul Smith]

Dear All,

Suppose that one wants to dnf clean all of a specific repo. I have
tried the following command:

dnf clean all
--enablerepo="_copr:copr.fedorainfracloud.org:mfabian:ibus-typing-booster"
--disablerepo="*"

but I get the following error:

# dnf clean all
--enablerepo="_copr:copr.fedorainfracloud.org:mfabian:ibus-typing-booster"
--disablerepo="*"
Error: Unknown repo:
'_copr:copr.fedorainfracloud.org:mfabian:ibus-typing-booster'
#

But

# ls /etc/yum.repos.d/ | grep ibus
_copr:copr.fedorainfracloud.org:mfabian:ibus-typing-booster.repo
#

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance,

Paul

Look inside that .repo file for the [name of repo] text at the
top. Use that name in the enablerepo argument.

Thanks, Tom. Unfortunately, it cleans all not regarding the specific
repo but all repos!

Looking at the man page, it would seem that disabling repos would not be effective.

    Clean Command
        Command: clean

        Performs cleanup of temporary files kept for repositories. This includes
        any  such data left behind from disabled or removed repositories as well
        as for different distribution release versions.

I have meanwhile found a workaround: disabling and enabling again the
desired repo.
