Cleaning up /var/lib/rpm

Hello, collective mind.

I have several Redhat systems where /var/lib/rpm is on the order of 150MB, 
I've been reading the docs to figure out how to clean up cruft in there, 
and the best I can see is the -F option, which only works if you're 
updating something.  Is there a simple way to identify and remove RPM 
cruft and reduce that disk use?

If there's something on the rhil.net I should know about, I can't access 
the site at the moment, but I will try later.

Many thanks, have a good weekend.
