/var/cache/yum/epel is 2GB big

I need to make room in the /var partition, which is 20GB big in total, and I found out that this folder /var/cache/yum/epel is 2GB big. Is it safe to remove its contents? I tried "yum clear all" as I found in some other post, but nothing happened.

Thanks.

 

Thanks for your help.

I tried "yum clean all", but the folder is still 2.1GB big.

When I run it, though, this was the output:

Loading "security" plugin
Loading "rhnplugin" plugin


Repository epel is listed more than once in the configuration


What should I do? I have not manually done anything about an epel repository.


This seems to have something to do with sqlite. Files in the folder are like this:
