One other thing you might want to do. Change the number of kernels to keep. The default is 3. I have one old IBM R61 that has had lot of updates over the years, and its boot partition was to small. As other suggested removing the rescue frees space, but it gets rebuilt when new kernel is installed. That can be turned off, but don't recall that option at moment.
/etc/dnf/dnf.conf contains the install limit. On that machine with small boot, just changed it to 2 instead of the default of 3.
