You could try removing Konqueror and K3B and seeing what they want to
take with them.  Make sure you don't have --assumeyes set, so that you
can just say n when it asks for confirmation to avoid doing anything.
e.g.
dnf autoremove Konqueror

Unless disk space is an issue, why do you care?  Is it the updates?  Is
it space for backups?  Personally, I keep all the desktops installed so
that if I want to use something from them, or try one of them, I don't
have to wait.  You don't have to go that far, but if you want to use an
application that depends on a specific desktop, you have to have those
dependency parts installed.  If the package brought them in, they are
needed because they were explicitly coded into the spec file.

Translation:  You're chasing wild geese here.
