To view the space of Macintosh HD , click on finder take cursor on top menu bar > Go > Computer > Macintosh HD use get info is used ( right click on Macintosh HD ) , again in the next upcoming column you can see applications folder .


If massive third party applications , softwares are installed in Mac they will be viewed in applications , these third apps occupy Macintosh HD space , so that has to be deleted .

Open finder > under favourites > applications > right click on the third party apps and move to bin , restart the Mac and empty the trash , the storage of hard drive will be reduced see this article also https://support.apple.com/en-in/guide/mac-help/mh35835/mac

Another folder is Users > your user name > downloads > massive .dmg files if found in it also occupy space , that has to be emptied .
