I just put steamos on my ROG and ran out of free space. Now it won’t boot and stays stuck on the ASUS ROG logo. I cleared some storage using a live USB, but the problem persists. I’m okay with reinstalling the OS (though I’d rather not if possible), but I need to recover some files and don’t know the best way to do it. Hope you can help. Thanks in advance!

With a PC that has a second M.2 port, you could easily connect it and retrieve the necessary information. You might also consider using a USB enclosure for convenience. However, this method wouldn't be possible if the drive is encrypted.

No encryption method other than SMT, but it only works if I’m missing something

It seems unclear what you're asking about. Could you clarify your question? The part about mounting an SSD on a computer isn't directly related to the previous sentence.

You meant to connect it through USB, not worry about taking it apart.

You might need to restore the data. It’s unclear if it’s feasible, but you could try launching a Linux live USB, connecting the internal storage, and extracting the files that way.

I can install it, but I need to know how to move the files. I think using another USB might work, but I’m not sure if I need to restart the system completely. Also, did you run out of space on your device?

No idea at all about the Ally running SteamOS. Yet if it lacked sufficient space—most guides mention this clearly—that’s definitely an issue. You can boot a Linux live USB on the Ally, mount the internal drive, and explore its files? If yes, consider these steps: Use a micro SD card as a backup, send wifi drivers via email or upload them to a NAS or cloud storage if connectivity works, connect with another USB device using a USBC dock, or simply transfer files onto the LiveUSB’s storage.

Yes, the live USB doesn't keep the files, so I might transfer them to an SD card if there are no other options besides reinstalling the OS.

You might reduce the liveUSB's partition size and then attach the unused area without losing data. Also, it seems the root folder on a live USB is stored in RAM, though you should still recognize the USB under /mnt.
