    but

    [egreshko@meimei ~]$ dnf group info LibreOffice
    Last metadata expiration check: 0:01:08 ago on Sat Nov 21 07:28:22 2020.

    Group: LibreOffice
      Description: LibreOffice Productivity Suite
      Mandatory Packages:
        libreoffice-calc
        libreoffice-emailmerge
        libreoffice-graphicfilter
        libreoffice-impress
        libreoffice-writer
      Optional Packages:
        libreoffice-base
        libreoffice-draw
        libreoffice-math
        libreoffice-pyuno


Ok can you tell me how DNF actually works ?

I mean what is the difference between @libreoffice and LibreOffice ?

Have you had the chance to read the dnf man page?

Each <spec> can be either a <package-spec>, which specifies
a package directly, or a @<group-spec>, which specifies an (environ‐
ment)  group which contains it.

You can use....

dnf group list

to get a list of the installed groups


dnf group info LibreOffice

Does this mean that LibreOffice is installed ? If so isn't there a single 
command to remove the group ?

No, see above.


How is

  dnf group info LibreOffice

different from

  dnf group info @libreoffice

I actually don't use the @form of group-spec as I forgot (or maybe never knew) 
how to get a list
of the corresponding @forms.  I just use the full name in quotes.
