I still haven't found the root cause. However, when I run the 'dnf makecache' command, the files are no longer created

ashton-flo avatar Jun 04 '25 00:06 ashton-flo

There's a difference between dnf clean all and sudo dnf clean all. Have you tried running both commands? dnf clean all will remove user's cache only.

@zcobol This issue is not resolved by the dns clean all command. :(

ashton-flo avatar Jun 12 '25 01:06 ashton-flo

Where are amazonlinux-filenames.solvx.dvABgo like files coming from?

dnf clean will remove only solv and solvx ending files:

62 CACHE_FILES = {
63     'metadata': r'^%s\/.*((xml|yaml)(\.gz|\.xz|\.bz2|.zck)?|asc|cachecookie|%s)$' %
64                 (_CACHEDIR_RE, _MIRRORLIST_FILENAME),
65     'packages': r'^%s\/%s\/.+rpm$' % (_CACHEDIR_RE, _PACKAGES_RELATIVE_DIR),
66     'dbcache': r'^.+(solv|solvx)$',
67 }
