System Data Partition Huge After Monterey Reinstall
I encountered a black screen of death in Monterey 12.4 and tried everything I could to resolve it to no avail. Thankfully I had a fresh Carbon Copy Cloner backup and decided just to wipe the internal drive and reinstall the OS from Recovery Mode. I did so, and restored the backup. Everything seemed to be going swimmingly until I checked my disk with Disk Utility: for some reason, even though this was a one to one migration to a fresh installation of Monterey on a zeroed disk, the data partition of my internal drive has gobbled up an extra 100 GB of space. I do not know why, and I do not know how to remedy it. I am running Monterey 12.4 on a Mac Studio, and any help would be greatly appreciated!
