dnf cache is very large....

So my dnf cache for rawhide is over 4Gb in size and it appears that there are duplicate files in
/var/cache/dnf/x86_64/rawhide/rawhide/packages (duplicate in that multiple versions of rpm's exist in the directory), for example:

PackageKit-0.9.2-5.fc21.x86_64.rpm
PackageKit-0.9.2-7.fc21.x86_64.rpm
PackageKit-0.9.3-1.fc21.x86_64.rpm
PackageKit-glib-0.9.2-5.fc21.x86_64.rpm
PackageKit-glib-0.9.2-7.fc21.x86_64.rpm
PackageKit-glib-0.9.3-1.fc21.x86_64.rpm
PackageKit-gstreamer-plugin-0.9.2-5.fc21.x86_64.rpm
PackageKit-gstreamer-plugin-0.9.2-7.fc21.x86_64.rpm
PackageKit-gstreamer-plugin-0.9.3-1.fc21.x86_64.rpm
PyQt4-4.11.1-0.1.9d5a6843b580.fc21.x86_64.rpm
PyQt4-4.11.1-0.3.9d5a6843b580.fc21.x86_64.rpm
PyQt4-4.11.1-0.3.9d5a6843b580.fc21_4.11.1-1.fc21.x86_64.drpm
PyQt4-4.11.1-1.fc21.x86_64.rpm


I assume this is not planned nor correct (since my yum cache is much smaller) but can't seem to clear it out with any of the dnf
commands.  How can I clear this up gracefully?
