Repomd.xml is a Yum file, not an RPM file. Have you tried yum clean all?

If you're talking about the RPM database, it's in in "/var/lib/rpm" and contained in the files "__db.001", "__db.002" and "__db.003". If you're referring to the yum databases, they're in "/var/cache/yum/<repo-name>". That's all contained in the "Files" part of the man pages for rpm and yum. "man" is also your friend.
