System Settings shows Storage at 90% but can only find 70% of the files

My hard drive seems to be full but I can't find where all this data is supposed to be.


System Settings shows 225 GB - see photo attached.

OmniDiskSweeper shows 175GB - se photo attached.


Where is this other 50 GB? My various cloud storage is offline
