Thanks for quick reply. Will take a look at it.
The badlinks-clean has lots in ./usr/lib/.build-id/
cat badlinks-clean | grep ./usr/lib/.build-id/ | wc -l

You definitely don't want to delete those ones. Those are part of packages.
For example I have this:
/usr/lib/.build-id/06/2c544875e9e66357e278e0aa06b8ac395f9251 ->
../../../../usr/lib64/ImageMagick-7.1.1/modules-Q16HDRI/coders/heic.so
It's dangling because I haven't installed the "heic" module for
ImageMagick that would provide that library.
Question? why wouldn't installing the heic module create the link
rather than having ImageMagick create a broken link?
This command might provide some more info:
find / -xdev -xtype l -print0 | xargs -0 rpm -qf | grep "not owned"
find / -xdev -xtype l -print0 | xargs -0 rpm -qf | grep "not owned" |wc -l

Last of output. Have VirtualBox installed from Fedora repo, but
was once having an issue, so tried there install, but same issue until
next release. Then removed it Ran Boinc for many years, but
recently, it kept machine running way to hot even with cpu limit to
25%. So uninstalled it. Top few lines just some extra ones.

So there are a large number. Noticed a few seem left over from a
Package that I uninstalled.
Those are all from things that you've installed outside of the package
manager.
