Hi AnonymouslyCreative:
You might find some helpful information in Borja14's January 2025 topic Problems With Storage.
Temporarily turning OFF System Repair (a.k.a. Dell SupportAssist OS Recovery or Dell SupportAssist Remediation) in your SupportAssist settings should purge your existing system repair points in the hidden folder at C:\ProgramData\Dell\SARemediation\SystemRepair\Snapshots - see the instructions posted <here> in the SupportAssist v4 User Guide. However, once you turn System Repair back ON and start accumulating system repair points (a.k.a. system snapshots) again that hidden folder might grow beyond the maximum allotted disk space again.
If your System Repair setting is configured to use the recommended 15 GB of disk space then turn OFF System Repair to purge that hidden folder and try a lower setting (e.g., a maximum of 12 GB of allotted disk space) after System Repair is turned back ON to see if that helps.
