System Date is huge on MacOS Monterey

Does anyone know how I can reduce the size of the system data, it fluctuates up and down slightly too? I thought it stayed about 10-15GB, I am sure it affects using photoshop. Would appreciate any tips.

System Data is taking up all the HD space Hi all, I have an M1 Macbook Air currently running Monterey. The problem is that since a couple of months ago, the "System Data" is becoming very large (more than 90GB). Everything started when I tried to update xcode without luck (infinite updating time), so I completely uninstalled xcode and reinstalled from scratch. After that I noticed the increase of "System Data". Is this normal? I'm very concerned that sooner than later I'll run out of free space. Thanks, Luca
