Other storage shot up to 800GB

My iMac's storage has been taken up by 800GB (out of 1TB) of 'Other', seemingly out of nowhere over the space of a few weeks. Mac is now running very slow and cannot launch programs.


Any suggestions for how to clear it out, but more importantly what may have caused the issue?

iMac 21.5″ 4K, macOS 11.0
