Upgrade to Mac OS 12.

When I try to do this I'm told I don't have enough space, but have a Time Machine backup. What do I do now?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.4

Free up space Just downgraded my macbook pro from mac os catalina to mac os mojave. Before downgrading, took a backup on time machine. Now after downgrading, system is showing just 22GB free out of 500 GB, whereas only 12GB is used space. Nothing else on the system. I am not able to take backup due to lack of space. What needs t be done here?
