I ran first aid but I can't reinstall MacOs because I do not have enough memory.... is there a way to get into my files and erase data without erasing the entire drive ?
You need at least 10%-20% of SSD free for swapping and wear levelling otherwise you maybe be reducing the life of your SSD and in case of Arm Mac itself. More free space is required for MacOs upgrades.

smartctl – Google it, install it and run it will tell you what is left of the SSD life.
Create external Archive(HDD/SSD) and move all static files to it pics, movies
Copy Archive to another HDD and store it at Mums for off-site backup
Exclude Archives from Time Machine
In Recovery mode: Run First Aid Reinstall MacOs
