Is this on old installation (from before September/Oktober 2023)? If so remove dracut-config-generic and dracut-config-rescue. The rescue kernel and initramfs can be directly deleted. That should free up enough space for the update.
After removing dracut-config-generic the generated initramfs images should be approximately 30MB instead of ~140MB. You can either phase the old ones out slowly via kernel updates or regenerate all with dracut --regenerate-all --force.

Yeah, this install started with 38 I think.

Can I remove more?

Remove everything with “rescue” in the name, those are no longer used (they were pretty useless to begin with).
