Not enough space for lightroom backup even though there is space since updating to Sequoia 15.6

Lightroom says not enough space for lightroom backup even though there is space.

I have even cleared out my mackbook by putting photos on an external drive and have also deleted

Caches, lunch agents, launch deamons, scripting additions, startup items and ran disk first aid, restarted computer and LR etc.

LR says my next backup is 6.98 GB and i have 190GB free. What could be the ptoblem ?

This has only happened since updating to Sequoia 15.6 so could that be the problem or is it coincidence?

Hi @chrisknight15! Sorry to hear you're running into trouble with Lightroom Classic.

When you get a chance, could you try going to File > Optimize Catalog and see if that helps resolve the issue?

Thanks so much!
