Since the dnf erase command doesn't work, or tries to remove over 211M of files, do you mean just to remove the directory tree for the offending package using the rm command?
Sorry, I missed that part. I use 'dnf remove', but I don't know if there's any difference between that and 'dnf erase'. But when you say '211M of files', that could just be Google Earth itself; it's a pretty big app. What exactly is the output from 'dnf remove google-earth'?
Dependencies resolved.

Wow, yeah. There is something weird going on there. It looks a lot like the google-earth stuff is providing some kind of core stuff which should usually come from a Fedora package, so that package isn't installed. But I dunno how you got in that state in the *first* place. What does `rpm -q --provides google-earth` show?
Perhaps dnf thinks google-earth is now the authority on %{_bindir} ? So removing it is tearing the rug out from under all those others?
