You can, just change the cleanup timer to run more often.

would you be so kind and also tell me how to do that? It also seems like really valuable to add that to the gui, since that seems to be a real annoyance

sudo cp /usr/lib/systemd/system/snapper-cleanup.timer /etc/systemd/system/snapper-cleanup.timer

Then edit /etc/systemd/system/snapper-cleanup.timer and change this section:

[Timer]
OnBootSec=10m
OnUnitActiveSec=1d

to look like this:

[Timer]
OnCalendar=hourly
Persistent=true

Then save the file.

Then type:

sudo systemctl daemon-reload

I actually changed the instructions to make it simpler. Try following the new instructions.
