M1 MacBook Pro Storage Reporting Issue

I don't understand why the remaining storage space on my MacBook Pro 2T hard drive shows to be so different depending upon the report. In About this Mac/Storage it shows 310GB available. In About this Mac/System Report/Storage it shows only 32GB. And in Get Info is shows 282GB available (250GB purgeable). I've removed a lot of videos (120GB worth). The Mac/Storage report accurately reflects (storage wise) what's been removed but the Mac/System Report/Storage obviously does not. Since it is constantly shrinking, will I have an issue when it gets down to 0? I've never had this issue on other Macs. Thanks!

It was TimeMachine related. Turned off Back Up Automatically in Time Machine and backed to empty hard drive. All memory now shows about the same, +/_ 300GB.
