Q. How can I find leaf and orphan packages?
A. Install the yum-utils package if you don't already have it:
dnf install yum-utils
Then you can run:
package-cleanup --leaves
List leaf nodes in the local RPM database. Leaf nodes are RPMs
that are not relied upon by any other RPM.
package-cleanup --orphan
List installed packages which are not available from currently
configured repositories.
Its not automatically safe to erase the packages you find.
