Which folders and files do I need to exclude from TimeShift?

Also is there a way to also exclude programs installed as .deb ?

I doing this to reduce Backup size as I have limited storage.

100GB - Windows 11
400GB - Storage
400GB - Mint
100GB - TimeShift

    Ok now I feel bad for being pedantic and to really helping:

    flatpacks are installed ~/.local/share/flatpak and /var/lib/flatpak, depending on distro/flatpak installation I think. On my machine they are in ~/.local/share/flatpak, but there are people reporting having them in /var/lib/flatpak.

    Btw, I’d also exclude ~/.cache (for obvious reasons) and everything out outside of /home.

      Thank You for helping

      I’d also exclude ~/.cache

      I just included my every hidden files and folders in ~/ and now I feel stupid.

      Are there any other files and folders that I can exclude to save storage in TimeShift ?
