Running the following command I get the output:

How on earth do I now remove these ?
Could you just give me a sample DNF remove command for these ?
Thanks so much.
That is the problem with the dnf technique, it doesn't give the actual package name, you have to put it together manually.
On my system I ran the following convoluted command in order to isolate a single kernel. rpm -qa | grep ^kernel | grep 5.8 | grep rc5 | less
The results: kernel-modules-5.8.0-0.rc5.20200717git07a56bb875af.1.20200719.fc31.x86_64 kernel-tools-libs-5.8.0-0.rc5.20200717git07a56bb875af.1.20200719.fc31.x86_64 kernel-modules-extra-5.8.0-0.rc5.20200717git07a56bb875af.1.20200719.fc31.x86_64 kernel-modules-internal-5.8.0-0.rc5.20200717git07a56bb875af.1.20200719.fc31.x86_64 kernel-devel-5.8.0-0.rc5.20200717git07a56bb875af.1.20200719.fc31.x86_64 kernel-tools-libs-devel-5.8.0-0.rc5.20200717git07a56bb875af.1.20200719.fc31.x86_64 kernel-headers-5.8.0-0.rc5.20200717git07a56bb875af.1.20200719.fc31.x86_64 kernel-core-5.8.0-0.rc5.20200717git07a56bb875af.1.20200719.fc31.x86_64 kernel-5.8.0-0.rc5.20200717git07a56bb875af.1.20200719.fc31.x86_64 kernel-tools-5.8.0-0.rc5.20200717git07a56bb875af.1.20200719.fc31.x86_64
Notice that rpm returns the actual package name. So, I would just create a command like dnf remove \ kernel-core-5.8.0-0.rc5.20200717git07a56bb875af.1.20200719.fc31.x86_64 \ kernel-5.8.0-0.rc5.20200717git07a56bb875af.1.20200719.fc31.x86_64 \ etc. until all of them are listed.
In an actual shell instead of an email message, the backslash escape is not needed, just a space between them. Double click to select, paste using middle mouse button, space, double click to select, paste using middle mouse button, space, etc.
