Checking the sizes of:
~/Library/Caches/
• /Library/Caches/
• /System/Library/Caches/
~/Library/Caches/Adobe had over 200 GB so I could delete all of that.
Obviously you need to be careful about deleting from these locations, but as an Adobe CC user, I found I could safely delete its cache files.
Hope this helps someone.
