I get this.
rpm -V dnf-data
S.5....T.  c /etc/dnf/dnf.conf
.M.......  g /var/lib/dnf/groups.json
.M.......  g /var/log/dnf.librepo.log
.M.......  g /var/log/dnf.log
.M.......  g /var/log/dnf.rpm.log
.M.......  g /var/log/hawkey.log

I renamed the yumdb subdirectory to yumdb.old
and subdirectory history to history.old
history.old has
drwxrwxr-x. 382 root root     12288 Jun 19  2019 2017-11-05
-rw-------.   1 root root 247648256 Jun 20  2019 history-2017-11-05.sqlite
The subdirectory 2017-11-05 has a ton of numbered subdirectores with tiny config-main and config-repo files??
