You have to go through your packages, and find something to delete.
Or, I have about 300 megabytes in /usr/lib64/libreoffice. That's something that's surely not needed when the system boots, and can be moved somewhere else.

Well, you can remove anything you want. Whether the resulting system boots is an entirely different question.
It would be fairly safe to, for example, move /usr/lib64/libreoffice to a different partition, and leave a symlink in its place. Everything will be happy.
Or, for example, moving /var/www someplace else, and making /var/www a symlink. By the time apache wakes up, everything should be mounted already.

What I've done on several computers with not enough space in / is to symlink /var/lib/dnf/system-upgrade to something like /home/system-upgrade. Then dnf will store all the rpm files there instead of on the / filesystem and the upgrade process will still work the same.
