#1, never never never backup your system to the hard drive. NEVER always back up to a different drive otherwise no purpose in a backup.
#2, timeshift is your culprit, fix the settings and backup to external drive.
#3, Why is your stuff encrypted? I run a computer shop and I see people come in frequently losing information because they encrypted everything. If you are not doing top secret stuff, avoid encryption of the drive.
delete your old backups and I bet you get your space back.
when it comes to security and encryption, remember, "just because we can do a thing does not mean we should"
