Quite frankly I don't think that's even doable in any other way than rm -rf 
/var/cache/dnf/*, as dnf can loose track of the old data when you use --
releasever, for example when you update your entire distro with it. 

The only way I can see this done is to implement a plugin that would be an 
alias to the "rm -rf" action. IIRC plugins can add their own subcommands too. 
If you think such a plugin is required or nice to have, I encourage you to 
write it, dnf's API is well documented for that. Then you can either propose 
it for inclusion to dnf core plugins or create a separated package with the 
plugin.

Thanks
