Terminal Application and below command without quotation marks

" diskutil list "

If the computer is running low on Empty Space that is a different matter --->

Notation - If the user is using a cloning software like Carbon Copy Cloner - suggest tweaking the Safety Net Feature in this software. It may be making addition Snap Shots that are not being Cloned to the Eternal Drive. If this should be the case, these Snap Shot could be using additional space on the drive 

The final word from Apple on Managing the " Other/ System Data “ Category

Other / System Data: Contains files that don’t fall into the categories listed here. This category primarily includes files and data used by the system, such as log files, caches, VM files, and other runtime system resources. Also included are temporary files, fonts, app support files, and plug-ins. You can't manage the contents of this category. The contents are managed by macOS, and the category varies in size depending on the current state of your Mac.

It's not hidden. Just select any of the other volumes. The space taken up by that volume will be shown, and all the rest will comprise "other volumes in container."

Is there any way I can delete that? I need that space to be available for storage

You would have to delete your data to make much space available. Normally, the largest portion of "other volumes in container" is your Data volume.

Thank you Barney-15E and P.Phillips.

So in essence, there is nothing much that can be done as the space is managed by macOS.

No, not at all.

Other Volumes in Container are exactly that, other volumes in the Container.

One of those other volumes, the one that takes up the most space, is your Data volume.

You need to offload some of your data to make space.

P. Phillips chaffed you off with the "Other" category instead of "Other Volumes in Container." They are not the same thing at all. "Other" storage is technically part of "Other Volumes in Container," but it is not what you asked about.

Drive is another volume you created.

Remove it in disk utility.

In Finder, choose Computer from the Go menu. Look to se what is in Drive. Move it into your home folder if you want to keep it.

Open Disk Utility and select the Drive volume and click the Remove Volume button (–). After that is removed, see if the System Data reduces at all.

Although the suggestion was Technically not 100% accurate 😔 thank you anyways
