Since I didn't do anything to enable "autoremove" I suppose you're saying it is enabled by default? How to check?
Oh, never mind.
I think you're using the wrong terminology.
dnf.conf contains, by default
clean_requirements_on_remove=True
Yes, but the option to disable it is "--noautoremove".
So, the OP would have had to specify that option for vlc-core not to have been removed.
And, since the OP did say, "When I reinstalled Vlc /usr/lib64/vlc repopulated with good stuff" and you've determined that the contents of /usr/lib64/vlc is mainly part of the core package it is pretty clear what did occur.
FWIW, it is too bad the OP did rm on ./.config/vlc. It would have been interesting to see what would have happened if that directory was just moved and then moved back to see if it had something to do with the issue.
