Downloading my music library to my MacBook air

When downloading my music library to my MacBook Air,I ran out of space on my hard drive because besides my 122 gb Library in the cloud, also downloaded a Apple Music folder of 84 gb of Hlms files?

when you click on it goes to Apple TV but nothing happens.

After talking with Apple Support, when downloading music files in lossless format they will be in HLS Media and the file extension is .movpkg. In the Apple Music App they plain fine, however if you try to get them to play from Apple Music folder they will not play. These music files will be bigger if you are downloading to your internal drive versus downloading High Quality Format in Apple Music preferences. Re downloading in High Quality everything was fine and was able to have my whole music library(12GB) on my internal (256GB drive)
