Fixed on rawhide (will be in anaconda-22.6). I'll propose as a blocker for f21 before the week is over.

Discussed in 2014-09-24 Blocker Review meeting [1]. Accepted as a blocker. This is a clear blocker violating the Beta criterion: "must be able to remove existing volumes."

Another user experienced a similar problem:

Description: 
I have a hd with two partitions one with windows 7 and another clean to install fedora 21 workstation beta TC4. Was automatically created mount points on custom partition using free space, but when I deleted the /home occurred this problem;

Steps:
1. previous system installed;
2. boot (live-usb) fedora workstation beta tc4 for install with free space;
3. disk partition method custom and then select automatic creation of mount points (/boot, /home, / and swap)
4. delete /home (only)

Expect results: 
delete /home and follow the installation normally.

Bruno: Shawn: what you guys hit doesn't actually look like the same thing the initial report here is for (though libreport decided it was a dupe, for some reason). The initial traceback is:

DeviceFactoryError: new size must of type Size

You guys are hitting:

DeviceFactoryError: _removeDevice() got an unexpected keyword argument 

which does not seem to be the same thing. If you can reproduce this, can you please save the logs from /tmp - at least the anaconda-tb file, which has the actual traceback in it, and storage.log - and file a new bug with them attached? Thanks.

The bug Shawn and Bruno hit is https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1154050 , it should be fixed in Beta RC1.
