cd /usr/lib/modules du -sh * and see how many have significant space used. The rpms seem to leave any extra compiled pieces that were delivered outside of the kernel rpm (rpm fusion additional modules, dkms compiled and other compiled modules) leaving a lot of mostly empty directories. I have a bunch of dirs going back to fc25 and all but the most recent 3 have <5MB in them (kernel rpm modules is 150M-200M).
