Well, first I would try to mount /dev/mapper/fedora_localhost--live-home someplace
to see if there is any data to save.

If not, I'd use lvremove to get rid of it.

And then I'd use lvextend to distribute the freed space to root.  That, or use pvresize
to release the space from the pv.

Of course, I'd have to learn about those commands a bit more since it has been years
since I've used them.  :-) :-)
