Of the 251Gb storage on my MacBook Pro, 173Gb is taken up by System. This seems excessive. How can I reduce this? I'm running Mojave.

System use of drive storage too high (I think?) My system (MacBook Pro, OS-Monterey 12.6.6, Intel 5 chips) seems to be using an inordinate amount of storage space - 176GB on my 250GB drive. What's up with that and what can I do to reduce it?

That is excessive. Reinstall macOS, you can do that without deleting your data (but back up first, just in case).
