Yep. Or rather "they are recreateable from Packages, more or less, so don't matter".

I agree.
No comment has been added lately, so it's time to clean up this TA.
I will leave a recommendation in the Cleanup topic area that this question is:
Split between jlevie and Gns
Please leave any comments here within the next four days.
PLEASE DO NOT ACCEPT THIS COMMENT AS AN ANSWER!

it seems not working for only

I will try Glenn's method now, but I found that there are some files in /var/lib/rpm too.
they are not important? only Packages is important?
Thank you.
