Your logs indicate you're quickly running out of storage space and Frigate's emergency cleanup is running.

How do I clear up space for it? I probably have some old recordings that I need to get rid of since I recreated thr container.

You can try sync_recordings: true (docs are here: https://docs.frigate.video/configuration/record/#syncing-recordings-with-disk), but if there is other data on your drive, Frigate will not know about it. This is by design. Frigate only keeps track of the recordings in your database to avoid spinning up disks repeatedly to check for free space.
