I can't Update software on my NAS. I even tried to delete and that failed.
I'm trying to Update PLEX and it's been failing. I just tried updating EMBY and that is doing the same. Both are failing to Update. I even tried to delete PLEX and that failed. What is going on? ...
OK, so MNT is showing like 2.3G Total.

That's not full, but has less free space than usual.
Can you post the output of btrfs fi df /mnt ?
Also, what other apps do you have installed?
This is what I get.
Data, single: total=3.58GiB, used=2.32GiB
System, DUP: total=8.00MiB, used=16.00KiB
Metadata, DUP: total=204.56MiB, used=24.77MiB
GlobalReserve, single: total=16.00MiB, used=0.00BAs for other Apps. I have EMPY which is simular to PLEX. Tautulli which gives me al kind of usage Data for PLEX. netdata NT, stat, these 2 I've had off for a while. I haven't used them in a while. EMPY I normally have off. I have it to play around with. Then there's a few programs I've manually installed by SSH into the NAS like NZBGet, Sonarr and Radarr. These 3 programs of course don't show up in the installed apps page. I've been using this setup for a number of years now. I haven't touched anything, or change anything recently. I tried to installed a new PLEX update and it failed. So I assumed it was PLEX. But there's been like 6 updates since and they all fail. I've since tried to Delete PLEX and that fails. Delete EMBY, that fails. etc. Update fails. Many times when I try to update or Remove, the NAS I don't now, CRASHES? It goes to a new page saying Connecting to the ReadNAS Admin Page... Then I have to log back in again.
I do have the WinSCP program installed on my Windows computer to access my NAS that way. Makes it quicker, easy to delete stuff. My PLEX Media Server Backup directory I didn't change. So it was going into the Default. Is that the same limited Partition??? I moved the Plex Transcoding folder out to my Media Folder. Do I need to do that with the Backup? I assume that's a backup, but then I'm not sure where the normal PLEX files are at, and if there's 2 copy's in this limited space? The Main and the Backup?

Total=3.58 GiB means that the file system has 3.58 GiB allocated (and allocated space is not free).
Running a balance on the OS partition will help. Make sure you are logging into ssh as root (not admin). Start with
# btrfs balance start -dusage=0 /
When that completes, run it again without the -dusage parameter. You'll get a warning on the run time, but ignore it.
# btrfs balance start /
This second one might fail. If it does, then try this instead:
# btrfs balance start -dlimit=1 /
Then increase the -dlimit parameter by 1 and repeat until you get to the number that fails (or until you get to 6).
Then run
# btrfs fi df /
and let us know that the new total is.

When installing your own stuff with apt-get, you need to be careful not to overload the OS partition. If it gets completely full, the NAS configuration can get corrupted.
The simplest way to reduce OS partition space usage is to move OS folders created by the application to the data volume, and then replace the folders on the OS partition with softlinks. Note that /apps on the OS is a mount point for /data/.apps, so you can create a "various" folder in /apps, and move the folders into there.
ReadyNAS apps are already supposed to put their data into /apps, but not all of them do that. You might consider removing the apps you haven't used for a while.
If you installed the plex package for the ReadyNAS (available from plex), then the backup folder should already be in /apps. If it's not there, then it might be taking up OS space. I don't know what the default transcoding directory is, so, I suggest that you create a transcode folder in /apps, and set it explicitly to that.
It now shows,
