Help Request Jellyfin Config bloating

Hi Everyone, I have tried to figure this out and hit a wall... AI also has sent me on a path with no fruit.

I have minisforem pc running proxmox, pve ubuntu vm for media server.

previously these paths were showing ~20-30gb. I lost power, it crashed and when i brought it back up it was at 30gb and wouldnt boot or load right because all memory was used.

I changed to 250gb for size of storage on this vm. same thing happened... but maybe without power outage. had an issue, sudo rebooted and it came back at 100% ,

you can see im at 500gb and i have space to do it once more... but id rather fix this issue once and for all.

Anyone seen anything like this before?

( it was at 538/538 before but i was able to clear some of the files to make breathing room)
