I have a early 2015 MacBook Pro 256gb. I have reset the entire MacBook to factory settings and reinstalled MacOS (Big Sur). No extra apps installed and the MacBook is just like it’s out of the box from the factory. It shows I only have around 12gb of storage left and it won’t install Monterey. There is nothing else I can clear off the MacBook to clear space. Any ideas?
I have it figure out. The SSD was partitioned so I had to delete the partitions then reset to factory settings.

you may need to run through Apple menu -> About This Mac -> Software update first and finish the updates before running the Monterey installer.
Straight from the factory with Big Sur installed would use up under 100GB.
¿did you used to have Windows installed?
No, Windows was never installed. Can’t figure out why so much room is being taken on the MacBook when the system has been reset to factory.

and post a screenshot.
Time Machine, iCloud, OneDrive all put temporary files.
iPad and iPhone backups also puts a sync file.
