Hopefully these steps will free up additional storage.

1. Startup in Safe mode. https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT201262 Choose the appropriate method.

To leave Safe Mode, choose “Restart” at the bottom.

Quote:

Safe mode prevents your Mac from loading certain software when 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,

And it deletes some system caches, including font caches and the kernel cache,

which will be created again automatically as needed.
