If there is only 2” between the bedding and the lid and she does it most in this area then it could be an environmental stress thing. Some hamsters aren’t too bothered about very deep bedding but plenty of floor area with a lot of floor toys and enrichment gives them variety. Eg a platform. Large tunnels, hidey places. Without seeing your set up it’s hard to tell but some detolfs can look a bit empty. Main thing is a good sized house or nesting box - like a labyrinth house eg. They like having a big dark area to nest in.
