Those restrictions should be removed now, check if you can upload a screenshot.
Hmmm.
What filesystems do you have and where?
It's obviously btrfs.
@Partha2003 I see what happened in that screenshot... Seems like you restored a snapshot and it didn't quite restore successfully. I mean, it restored successfully, but the snapshots didn't get restored to the normal place.
You can safely delete all those old snapshots by deleting every one of those containing "restore_backup". After that run sudo snapper delete-config && sudo snapper create-config --template garuda / and send the output.
Did you delete every subvolume containing this string?
If yes, run sudo snapper delete-config && sudo snapper create-config --template garuda and send the output
Oh come on you gotta be kidding me...
sudo btrfs subvolume delete [email protected]_232533961/.snapshots/36/snapshot
sudo btrfs subvolume delete [email protected]_232533961/.snapshots/{43..58}/snapshot
sudo btrfs subvolume delete [email protected]_232533961/.snapshots
sudo btrfs subvolume delete [email protected]_232533961
Copy paste this into your terminal.
I shot you a dm, please take a look.
Run it in bash.
I don't know what to tell you, but that's fish. Run it in bash.
Follow my instructions carefully: Type "bash". Press enter. Copy paste the command.
Also sharing the command I sent you is like really stupid and you shouldn't have done that >.>
Ok that.... was an absolute mess to deal with. Anyway, got it all fixed and even installed Nvidia drivers after they broke the system (thanks optimus-manager we all hate love you)

Hello, I have a similar problem. Somehow, my Btrfs files are not recognized as btrfs?
I think it has to do with Optimus maybe? This issue happened after I tried to switch to open source drivers.
I cannot make snapshots, it doesn't recognize my snapshots in Btrfs Assistant and, therefore, I cannot delete them.

Sure is. My questions were prior to the screenshots. The output seemed to indicate perhaps a different filesystem.
So glad you got it sorted. What a great demonstration of hands-on help. 
It was obvious before that too tho

Thanks for replying!
You have a very responsive community here 
I have already reinstalled KDE #LOL. I tried tinkering on my own and messed up even more xD.
I am new to Arch Linux and new to Linux in general, but I love it. Garuda KDE is so snappy and customisable! I tried many distros but they are just not performant as this one! 
I like this philosophy Unused RAM is wasted RAM.
I was trying to see if open source driver could keep my Nvidia under 44-45 C degrees as it makes noise. On windows it used to stay pretty much all the time at 38-39 degrees. I don't play video games anymore.. but I don't have an integrated GPU.
I amalso on youtube trying to learn more Linux commands.
So my BTRFS Assistant issue has been resolved.
At the moment I am trying to understand the kernel thing - was reading this forum post.
I have, installed by default, linux-zen 5.16.8 zen1-1 but I also installed linux-lts 5.15.22-246
Since I am not gaming, which one should I use? And how can I change between kernels at start?
Garuda boot options doesn't want to keep my LTS as main. What do you think?
Choose whichever gives you the performance you seek from the GRUB menu when you re/boot. You mentioned heat? The LTS may pleasantly affect that, and also try the normal linux kernel.
And sometimes some of us who think we're living on the edge keep several handy in case we fall off.

Have you tried thermald from Garuda-Assistant? If not, it might be worth a try, even if you are on a desktop.
I would suggest Linux-zen, even if you are not gaming. It is snappier even if you are not gaming. But I guess, others might have different opinion.
