How to exclude Flatpaks from TimeShift?

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

Ignore the folder .var/app In your homedir, I think this should do the trick
- my /var doen't have any folder called app. Do you mean /var/lib/flatpak/app?
  
  No, ~/.var/app
  
  Thank You.
  
  I also found /var/lib/flatpak/app has significant storage use, because runtimes are stored there.
