It’s supposed to be cleaned after 30 days via /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/tmp.conf:

q /var/tmp 1777 root root 30d

It’s not getting cleaned up here on F39 Silverblue, but that seems to be an rpm-ostree bug: Update auto-tmpfiles code to skip already specified directories · Issue #26 · coreos/rpm-ostree · GitHub

Are any of those directories older than 30 days?

I tried this one; we’ll see
