Snapshot size dramatically increased

I have noticed this too, but it doesn’t make sense on my setup. Here’s the latest snapshot I just created:

ESPHome is 34.1MB, larger than anything else in my home assistant installation. From an ssh, I check disk usage:

esphome $ pwd
/root/config/esphome
esphome $ du -sh .
9.1M    .
esphome $

And from windows via samba the “size on disk” value is similarly small:
image

So what gives, why does the archive get so darn big?

I tried intentionally going into ESPHome and doing a “clean build” to remove all the binaries from behind the scenes and it makes the directory smaller but doesn’t seem to impact the snapshot archive size! WTH?
