Sorry, I did not give dnf the right to delete files it did not create in that 
directory.    Note that it also wiped sub directories, which I did not agree to.

Here is what the man page says:

"--downloaddir=<path>, --destdir=<path>
             Redirect  downloaded  packages to provided directory. The option 
has to be used to‐
             gether with the --downloadonlycommand  line  option,  with  the 
download command
             (dnf-plugins-core) or with the system-upgrade command 
(dnf-plugins-extras)."

No warnings about wiping other data !

And the "rm" man page also does not warn what would happen if one enters "rm -rf 
/home".
