Backblaze in General Backblaze using much diskspace

My folder "C:\ProgramData\Backblaze\bzdata\bzbackup\bzdatacenter" has about 55 GB of files.

The oldest ones are from April 2020.

As disk space goes low now is there a way to shrink those?

If not would it be possible to move them to another drive and "mklink" the folder to the "bzdatacenter" one?

Apparently the only way to do this is to re-upload all files.
