You could keep your /home directory (assuming you aren't the person that

Long ago, probably back before Fedora existed, I did installs in place
by booting off something else. Deleting all files I wanted gone
(everything but my data). Starting the installer, selecting existing
partitions, and unselecting "format" options for each partitions. It
was dicing with death, but it worked. I haven't looked to see if you
can still do the same trick.
The Fedora installer will not let you do that for very good reasons.
