Storage on a MacBook

Hello! I have a problem with the storage on the macbook. On a Macintosh HD, 218 GB are stored in other volumes in the container. What's it? How do I delete it? Unfortunately, I couldn't solve the problem myself.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.5

See used and available storage space on your Mac

And from Apple regarding managing the " Other " category

Other: Contains files that don’t fall into the categories listed here. This category primarily includes files and data used by the system, such as log files, caches, VM files, and other runtime system resources. Also included are temporary files, fonts, app support files, and plug-ins. You can't manage the contents of this category. The contents are managed by macOS, and the category varies in size depending on the current state of your Mac.
