You have, or at one time did, CleverFiles' Disk Drill on your Mac. That's a bunch of recovery data it saves and is not needed in the least if you already have real backups (Time Machine, Carbon Copy Cloner, SuperDuper!, etc.).
Supposedly, you can turn it off. From a discussion I found elsewhere:
Just go to Disk Drill -> Your drive -> Protect… there you will be able to configure the amount of disk space that’s allowed to be used by Guaranteed Recovery.
Tech Tool Pro does the same dumb thing. Saves automated backups on the same drive its backing up. I hope the programmers aren't really so dumb that they fail to understand if the drive dies, the backups go with it.
