I've never used gparted before but so far have managed to shrink the largest partition 20+ GB. However that is an extended partition and I need to add space to / [/var/cache/yum/x86_64/21/fedora is what wants more room] and I don't understand how to deal with that?
/ is on sda3, /home is on sda5, so they are likely discontinuous regions of the drive. The / needs to be either LVM or Btrfs based in order to use discontinuous regions of the drive.
If I botch this I can still re-install and start from scratch again but would prefer not.
This looks most likely, unless you can find out what's consuming so much space on /.
