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
Sorry, I don't know where flatpacks are installed (probably in /home/user/.local or /var/lib), but i want to nit-pick:

Its directories, not folders.
- So, Folders is a Windows term ?
  
  Edit: it just found this
  
  Exactly:)
