They are not virtual drives, they are volumes. They are part of the OS. They should not be taking up much space at all so your problem is your own data files you need to move somewhere else clear up space on your drive.

1 - The portion of the report that was posted ( not a Full Report ) is showing and I quote


" This computer is running critically low on free hard drive space. "


If you wish to post the Full Report we can have better look and offer a more comprehensive analysis of the report


Should that not be to the Users' liking


Run the Terminal command below


If will only provide a look at the Internal Drive and its Structure


diskutil list internal


Then post back the output of above command


Regarding a Full Report refer to image below
