System folder is too large

My iTunes folder had bizarrely taken over most of my MacBook Pro storage. Since deleting it all, the System folder is now massive. How do I free up this space?

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.14

Did you perform a restart/reboot after deleting your files?


Check if you have same issue in safe mode.

How to use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support

NoteSafe mode prevents your Mac from loading certain software as it starts up, including login items, system extensions not required by macOS, and fonts not installed by macOS. It also does a basic check of your startup disk, similar to using First Aid in Disk Utility. And it deletes some system caches, including font caches and the kernel cache, which are automatically created again as needed.
