MacOS Storage
On my MacBook Pro under Storage in About My Mac it says I have 113Gb free, but under Disk Utility it says I have 23Gb free. Why Is This?
MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.15

Hey there SlouchyErmine62,
We understand you have a question regarding the difference between Disk Utility and About This Mac for the storage on your MacBook Pro, and we'd like to see if we can assist.
Check out this resource: How to free up storage space on your Mac
Specifically, check out this detail in the "Learn more" section below:
"The Storage pane of About This Mac is the best way to determine the amount of storage space available on your Mac. Disk Utility and other apps might show storage categories such as Not Mounted, VM, Recovery, Other Volumes, Free, or Purgeable. Don't rely on these categories to understand how to free up storage space or how much storage space is available for your data."
We hope this helps!
