Clearing up storage on my MacBook Pro

Managing my storage within my MacBook Pro it's still showing that I have only 3GB remaining out of 124GB drive. I moved all large files to icloud. Somehow the files must be on the internal drive? Under large files I have one small file. Everything else left on the internal drive are small MB and KB files. The remaining files that I think that's left on the drive should not be taking up 121GB?

Try something like OmniDiskSweeper for a GUI to get a good look at itemized file size and location:
