System Storage Window Crashing

When I go to manage my storage on my 2019 Macbook Pro (I have 200GB available on a 500GB drive) the window crashes every time. I don't have to touch it and have only emptied the trash so far. Is that not enough storage or does this mean something is seriously the matter? I've attached the crash report.

Thanks in advance!








MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 11.0

Boot into Safe Mode by booting with the Shift key held down and check there to see if the problem persists.  Reboot normally and test again.


NOTE: Safe Mode boot can take up to 10 minutes as it's doing the following; 

• Verifies your startup disk and attempts to repair directory issues, if needed

• Loads only required kernel extensions (prevents 3rd party kernel/extensions from loading)

• Prevents Startup Items and Login Items from opening automatically

• Disables user-installed fonts 

• Deletes font caches, kernel cache, and other system cache files
