After my most recent sudo dnf upgrade ,

sudo dnf clean all did not help.
Previously when my /var ran low,
the problem was a directory named cache that I could just remove.
Not this time.
What can I do to reclaim somme room for my /var partition?
I've never used flatpak intentionally or directly.
This is an interesting discussion and some may need to know that there
is Fedora Document that promotes using flatpak.

Flatpaks are a new way of deploying applications. If you have an
application already packaged as a Fedora package, creating Flatpak
offers a number of advantages:
The application can be safely updated without rebooting the system
(you can update a package without rebooting your system using dnf from
the command line, of course, but GNOME Software only offers updating
applications as part of an offline system update.)
The application can seamlessly be installed on Fedora Silverblue
The Flatpak works across all supported Fedora versions - you don’t
have to update trailing versions of Fedora for people to use the newest
application version.
The Flatpak can be run by people running on other distributions

FWIW, I have two machines, one uses a flatpack package as it is the only
way and one doesn't. Both run KDE and F41.
/var/lib/flatpak is 2.7G and 21M respectively.
I also know that there is a var/lib/snapd that is at 4.5G on both
machines. 150K and 5.6G respectively.
With Snap and Flatpak as the way forward, then I need to change my
longtime disk partitioning scheme.
I think it will be full rebuild with F42 on all machines due to these
changes to ensure there is enough disk space for the "future."
