I wanted to remove all LibreOffice components so I tried the following

sudo dnf remove -y @libreoffice
This resulted in:
No packages marked for removal.

Complete!
This was strange since the group had no packages in it.
Why is that ?
Why is there a blank group of LibreOffice ?
It's not blank.
Why aren't the required packages in it ?
From the man page:
dnf [options] group remove <group-spec>...
Mark the group removed and remove those packages in
the group from the system which do not belong to another installed group
and were not installed explicitly by the user.
I'm not sure exactly what the reason is, but on my system, removing the
group only removes a few fringe packages. I tried adding and removing
user and group markings and now it will remove less packages than
before. :-)
I've never found group remove to be really useful at all. It's most
useful for installing.
