I'm really confused. Here's my file browser in the storage info. There are no folder which is larger than 2GB. How could there be 84.14GB documents on disk???
There are several large files shown, which are my files in my onedrive folder. I've double checked that those large files have "zero bytes on disk".
So confusing why document occupy so much storage.

Try something like OmniDiskSweeper for a GUI to get a good look at itemized file size and location:

I will add—
You do not need third-party app to itemize, from the Terminal.app, more detail copy and paste the command line:
File size, and finding missing GB— list the items in the home folder with the sizes, including invisible items.
sudo du -h -d 1 ~/
