Hi,
Just wondering if anyone had any idea why the System Data is taking up so much space. Prior to me updating to Monterey 12.2.1 I had like over 800GB of free space and overnight, I left with 600GB...that is System Data taking up a good 322GB.
"Free up storage space on your Mac - Apple Support" is pretty useless cause it ain't about large files on my end.
Any other suggestions?
MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 12.2

If you're unable to locate anything that could be contributing here, do you use Final Cut Pro? If so, check out the following resource to see if the storage could be built up with render files.

If you're still unable to determine this, Contact Apple Support to look into this in more detail.
Have a great day!
