Hi _saqib,

It sounds like you're having some trouble with your storage and we're here to help.

How many days have you seen this exhibited with your storage? Following installing some updates we might see this System Data grow and then return to normal as caches are cleared.

Do you have any of the storage Recommendations that helped the situation?

Try starting to safe mode to test:How to use safe mode on your Mac

If the issue persists after a couple days, contact Apple Support for further assistance:Get Support
