Other volumes in container

My Mac has only few days but its memory is already almost full. The most part of the space is occupied by “other volumes in container”. In utility disk I see that I’m using 32GB but 59GB are used by “other volumes”. I think there is something wrong but I don’t know how to fix the problem and free more space

MacBook Air 13", macOS 10.14

disk reported as full in disk utility but not elsewhere Hello, my mac has been running really slow lately and when I look in disk utility it shows as full (pic 1). However, when I then click on subsequent containers/subfolders in disk utility, it shows 50GB free space (pics 2-5). When I click on 'about this mac' > 'storage', it tells me I have 83GB available (pic 6). I deleted around 20GB of files/apps, and the storage values reported in disk utility didn't change. It certainly runs like it's totally full. What on earth is going on and how do I free up space?? I'm running Big Sur 11.5.2
