Today I tried to force all installed packages to reinstall but before
that I deleted once again all the caches and existing snapshots and
BEFORE trying to reinstall I run again btrfs balance and this time it
worked even though I have more space occupied now than I had when the
error first appeared!

So theoretically my problem is SOLVED but I still think there is
either something wrong with balance since it should have be able to do
it before or there is something wrong with scrub or check because they
should have reported an error if there was one.
