    Indeed you should check if its not your transcode cache folder that is full of chunks that were not cleaned up automatically.
    You can find where it is in your system.yaml file at "CachePath"

    Ideally this folder should be set on a different location and not on the system disk and/or same as jellyfin database,  to avoid all sort of issues: system disk full or database locks.

    I've got dozens of users and had a lot of issues with it, until I dedicated a 200GB SDD only for this (You dont need that much if you only have 1-5 users)

    Code:
    <CachePath>/cache/jellyfin</CachePath>
    <MetadataPath>/var/lib/jellyfin/metadata</MetadataPath>

    Code:
    Filesystem      1K-blocks        Used Available Use% Mounted on
    /dev/sda2        102656700    58506544  39744692  60% /
    /dev/sdd1        209610756    14199348 195411408  7% /cache
