Hello MaybDB! Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities.


We understand that System is taking up a lot of space on your Mac, and your Mac is out of storage space, too. We'd like to look into this with you to see how we can help. 


Great thinking to try the steps outlined in Free up storage space on your Mac to resolve this issue. 


If you start your Mac in safe mode, does this issue persist? How to use safe mode on your Mac


What happens if you run First Aid for Macintosh HD: How to repair a Mac disk with Disk Utility First Aid can find errors that can lead to unexpected behavior when using your Mac. 


If the issue persists, we’d recommend reaching out to Apple Support to look into this further: Get Support


Make it a great day!
