sudo mount -t ext4 /dev/sdb7 /mnt
sudo chroot /mnt
Now I’m in a chroot environment, and the text before I input a command is red and reads this:
[manjaro /]#
Then, I tried the command
pamac upgrade --enable-downgrade --aur --devel
which lead to these results:

Then, I tried the commands
pacman -Syy
followed by
pacman -Syu
And again, they lead to the same screen telling me

error: not enough free disk space

Ok, great news everybody!!!
I believe I have FINALLY fixed my system!
I’m going to post how I did it, and then what I did here so we can end the thread with a good solution.
Then I will leave the live USB, boot my Manjaro, and see if everything is still working.
So, first I did
sudo manjaro-chroot -a
It turns out this was the right command the whole time. When I do it, this is the result it gives me:
grub-probe: error: cannot find a GRUB drive for /dev/sdc1. Check your device.map.
grub-probe: error: cannot find a GRUB drive for /dev/sdc1. Check your device.map.
==> Mounting (ManjaroLinux) [/dev/sdb7]
--> mount: [/mnt]
--> mount: [/mnt/boot/efi]
--> mount: [/mnt/home/sam/Sams2ndDrive]
As you can see at the bottom, it seems to mount my “Sams2ndDrive”, which is my newly installed 2nd 1TB SSD, which I mounted at my main SSD’s home folder. Clearly what happened here was, that it mounted my home folder, as well as some other things here too. It turns out though, as you can see the [/dev/sdb7] at the top, that everything is fine.
Then after that, I did this (I will simply post the remaining terminal output now):
[manjaro /]# ls
bin desktopfs-pkgs.txt etc lib lost+found opt root run srv tmp var
boot dev home lib64 mnt proc rootfs-pkgs.txt sbin sys usr
[manjaro /]# sudo pacman -Sy linux-latest
