La réponse en bref
How smart people say "I already told you"
For a polite reminder, say "As I mentioned before" or "As we discussed." Then repeat the information calmly. Save "We went over this" for people you know well, and say it kindly. "I already told you" is clear, but it can sound annoyed, so the softer lines are safer at work.

Comprendre chaque réplique
-
But as I mentioned before. Ton: Soft and polite
Use it in work emails and chats when you need to repeat something you said earlier. Follow it with the information itself. It may sound too formal with close friends.
“But as I mentioned before, that's been around for twenty years.”
-
As we discussed. Ton: Calm and professional
Use it after a meeting or call to remind someone what you both agreed. It's common at the start of a follow-up email. Only use it if the talk really happened.
“Obviously, as we discussed, we have a serious security leak.”
-
We went over this. Ton: Firm, a little tired
Use it with family, friends, or close coworkers when you have already explained something. Say it kindly, or it sounds annoyed. Avoid it with a boss or a client.
“Dad, we went over this.”
-
As I said earlier. Ton: Neutral and clear
Use it in a meeting or conversation when you said something a short time ago. It's a little more direct than "As I mentioned before."
-
Just a quick reminder. Ton: Friendly and light
Use it when you repeat information without suggesting that the other person forgot. It works well in group messages. It doesn't work if you sound angry when you say it.
-
Just to recap. Ton: Organized and neutral
Use it at the end of a meeting or a long message to repeat the main points. It sounds helpful, not critical, because it repeats the points for everyone.

But as I mentioned before.Formulation conseillée But as I mentioned before, the meeting starts at ten.
In real use, this phrase starts a sentence. The film line is a short excerpt of a longer sentence. Always add the information you're repeating after the comma.

As we discussed about the budget, we need to cut costs.Formulation conseillée As we discussed, we need to cut the budget.
The verb discuss takes a direct object, so you don't need "about." Say "we discussed the budget," not "we discussed about the budget."

À corriger
I already told you! The file is in the folder.Formulation conseillée As I mentioned before, the file is in the shared folder.
"I already told you" can sound annoyed, especially with an exclamation mark. At work, a softer phrase gives the same reminder without blame.
