Have you had the chance to read the dnf man page?
Each <spec> can be either a <package-spec>, which specifies
a package directly, or a @<group-spec>, which specifies an (environ‐

I did, but it is not clear (at least to me) about where to use the @ symbol and where not to. Which was kind of my point/question.
Samuel did answer that. It is the way to distinguish between a group name and package name.
You can see this by the difference in using
sudo dnf autoremove libreoffice
and
sudo dnf autoremove @libreoffice
Any ways this does not still explain why the entire LibreOffice group is blank, and why I can't remove LibreOffice cleanly in one go via the group that it is supposed to be a part of.
You can use....
dnf group list
to get a list of the installed groups
The LibreOffice group does exist for me, but alas, it is empty.
So.....
dnf group info LibreOffice
returns nothing?

The key to getting good answers is to ask good questions.
