Catalina killing my 500GB SD storage
When will they fix Catalina from using 90% of my 500GB SD?
MacBook Pro 15”, macOS 10.15
You're very welcome! I'm glad that worked out for you.

Ok, there's the issue. Something went amiss with the installation. Your Mac should not have multiple "Macintosh HD - Data" volumes ... only one. We have seen this on a number of posts here.
At this point, you should make sure that you have a good backup. Then you have a few choices:
- Use Recovery Mode to first completely erase the drive, and then, install a clean copy of macOS Catalina. (recommended)
- Attempt to delete the extra Macintosh HD - Data volumes. This can be performed with the Disk Utility in Recovery Mode.

The command that woodmeister50 has provided you should result with something like:
/dev/disk0 (internal):
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: GUID_partition_scheme 500 GB disk0
1: EFI EFI NNN.N MB disk0s1
2: Apple_APFS Container disk1 500 GB disk0s2
/dev/disk1 (synthesized):
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: APFS Container Scheme - Physical Store disk0s2 500 GB disk1
1: APFS Volume Macintosh HD NNN.N GB disk1s1
2: APFS Volume Preboot NNN.N MB disk1s2
3: APFS Volume Recovery NNN.N MB disk1s3
4: APFS Volume VM N.N GB disk1s4
Does it?
