Two Macintosh HD Data disks, one is taking up so much storage. Can I delete it?

So recently my storage has been decreasing and when I factory reset my MBP 2019, I saw that there's two Macintosh HD Data disks.


The first one looks like this:



The second one:



My Macintosh HD Disk:


MY QUESTION: I need my storage back, can I delete one of them? If so, how do I proceed?


Some background info: I recently factory reset it and during the process of reinstalling Catalina, it froze and so I restarted the laptop. It took me to Internet Recovery and when I went to reinstall MacOS, it was Mojave that I reinstalled instead of Catalina. So currently, the MBP is running on Mojave.


Thanks!
