From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It may not have been necessary to do a complete reinstall. If fedora uses LVM or BTRFS for your partitions (which it likely does) then you could have just formated the windows drive and added it to your "pool".
I actually did everything on Ext4 and had a separate home partition which was only 30gigs. So that was the main gripe in the previous install I had I thought to rectify it.
Alas I didn't use btrfs this time also and did Ext4. Maybe I should have enabled snapshots. Who knows. I may just be an adventurous dude.
Are you using LVM? It's a layer that sits under ext4 that allows for partition management similar to btrfs. You can find out if you're using it by running
sudo lvdisplayand you would see some logical volumes listed.
