That's because you'd already cleaned up a lot of the cruft.  If you wait until just before your next upgrade, you may be surprised at how much you recover.

I have not yet tried this tool as a non-privileged Fedora user. I have not yet installed it on my windows-7 box.

Basically, you'll be cleaning up your own home directory.  Useful, of course, but it won't help with upgrading.

Recently I had disk-space problems when using mock on my F29 box. /var is 50 GiB but much of that was full of old files which I have now deleted. I've just looked at this, my main system box, running the el7 clone SL7.7, using konqueror file size view.

Again /var is 50 GiB, of which 10.6 GiB is free. 27.4 GiB is occupied by /var/lib/yum/plugins/local, rpms dating from 2012 (Canon driver downloads) and others from 2014 to about a year ago when I disabled the local-repo plugin and yum stopped taking forever to do anything. Maybe I botched that installation. 7317 obsolete files...
