Issue Older packages not being cleaned up

slishy

New Pleskian
Server operating system version
CentOS 7.9
Plesk version and microupdate number
18.0.43.1
I'm starting to notice Plesk is not keen on removing older packages it no longer needs after you have upgraded a few versions (but still flags them as dependencies).
Doing an autoremove does not reveal these packages. Example:

Code:
# yum list installed | grep sw-engine

I would like to know if it is safe to remove older versions.
