You can remove everything _below_ /var/lib/yum/yumdb/ (which is for yumdb
from yum-utils) and also everything below /var/lib/yum/history/ (which is
for "yum history ...") but for the latter, you may get at least one Python
traceback upon trying to reinitialize the yum history (e.g. with "yum
history new").
