Suggest you query the installed packages like this to see if you find what needs to be uninstalled.
Rpm -qa | grep libreoffice
Thanks Barry. Incidentely after I removed the groupd and do an autoremove this is the result:
# dnf autoremove

I don’t understand why dnf would remove vlc plugins.
Agree, removal of the group should remove all it’s components
I always remove one by one from the Gnome Sofware (which is also a pain, because there is no batch operation and after each removal it reloads the whole list for a while….)

I think that’s because “autoremove” is a global command, not limited to libreoffice group
Once you have a list of packages you can do this trick
sudo dnf remove $( rpm -qa | grep libreoffice )
(you wrote “install” instead of “remove”).
The group you need to remove would be office. Run
dnf group info office
to see the members of this group.
sudo dnf remove libreoffice-*
At least partially a syntax issue I think with the changes between dnf4 and dnf5.
should be dnf4 group remove LibreOffice or (for dnf5) dnf remove @libreoffice
$ sudo dnf group list --hidden | grep -i libreoffice
Updating and loading repositories:
Repositories loaded.
libreoffice-development LibreOffice Development no
libreoffice LibreOffice yes
The second column is the group name used for dnf4 and the first column name is used by dnf5, as well as the command syntax change.
Also note that libreoffice is a hidden group (the yes in column 3).
