How to shrink a lvm partition?
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP

I'm trying to shrink an lvm partition, I have already shrunk the home volume, but I still can't shrink the partition in gparted. I am getting the following error:
Archiving volume group fedora metadata (seqno 6).
WARNING: /dev/sda3: Pretending size is 517775360 not 622632960 sectors.
Resizing volume /dev/sda3 to 517775360 sectors.
Resizing physical volume /dev/sda3 from 76004 to 63204 extents.
/dev/sda3: cannot resize to 63204 extents as later ones are allocated.
pvs, vgs, lvs output:
[root@localhost-live liveuser]# pvs

What am I doing wrong?

You have to move the offending extents, example unix.stackexchange.com/a/171472/30851 so in your case that might bepvmove --alloc=anywhere /dev/sda3:63204-76003
