Hi everyone!
A few days ago, I had a problem while trying to run KDE and Gnome as DE on Fedora 40. That problem was solved (see crosspost), but now, I can't update Fedora anymore as it says "the transaction did not complete" and I can't install or uninstall anything as it says I don't have space on my disk (which is not true).
Does anyone have an idea what to do?
Edit: apparently dnf clean and dnf clean all solved the problem, so thank you everyone as I was kind of panicking when I thought about all the work involved into having my perfect install again.

Hi everyone!
Today I tried to install KDE alongside Gnome to give it a try on Fedora on something else than a virtual machine.
For a reason I can't understand, the terminal couldn't finish the installation of KDE as something failed. Despite all of this, all the KDE apps were installed and Plasma is appearing as an option on the login screen under Gnome and Gnome Classic. Still I couldn't launch KDE plasma and nothing was happening after typing my login.
I took it as a sign that KDE isn't for me, especially because I'm 99% happy with Gnome.
So I removed KDE via the terminal and the remaining apps via the software center. Sadly, there is one app called "Centre de bienvenue" or "Welcome center" from KDE that I can't remove. Nothing is happening when I try removing it.
I tried removing it via the terminal, but when I type "dnf list installed" I can't find it as there are too many packages. Could anyone help me?
I also tried « dnf list installed » with the words « welcome », « bienvenue », « kde » and « plasma ».
Well if none of the solutions everyone has proposed, I guess I'll just wipe everything and install Fedora Silverblue to avoid future problems like this one..
That's a bit extreme. Just deleting files in a Live environment is super simple, and saves a big headache.
Well I'd love to be able to just do this, especially because every install is a big hassle on my Surface Go 1. Even booting from USB is, I don't know why exactly.. But what should I do once I manage to boot on the live USB?
Your disks should already be mounted, if not encrypted. If they aren't, just go to whatever disk or partition manager you like, find the volumes, mount them, and go about finding large files you don't need and delete them. Clear up a couple GB, then reboot your system as normal, and go about doing more cleanup until you're happy. Super quick and easy.
