Did you miss my other email? If you try to remove the evolution-data-server package, which is where these processes come from, you will find out what depends on it. Most of Gnome will be removed due to dependencies. I suppose if you don't use any of Gnome's integrations for calendar or contacts, etc., then you might be able to disable the services.
I did not miss that message. What I saw was:
It's "evolution-data-server" and if you try to remove that, you will remove most of Gnome. If you have "evolution" installed, you can remove that, but it won't affect these processes.
As you advised, I did not try to remove "evolution-data-server" or any any of the other "evolution-" things. I missed that you wanted me try and abort so that what depends on it would be revealed.
Yesterday, I stumbled onto the command "pstree". I don't know if it tells me anything useful, but I tried it. My hope was it might show me what depended on the "evolution-" things in a way that dnf would not know about.
Output from both the aborted "dnf remove" and 4 pstree runs are in the attached text file "evo.txt".
