Hello,
My machine is MacBook Pro 16, 2023, with Apple M2 Pro.
I checked the used and available storage space in Disk Utility.
Under the primary Container disk, it says there's 20K VM and 900MB disk space not mounted.
Apple Support suggested to upgrade the systme to the latest, so I did from Ventura to Sonoma 14.
However, after the upgrade, checked Disk Utility again, VM is now 1.07GB and another 1,06GM not mounted.
How can I "recover" (not sure if this is the correct term) it? I could really use the space as my hard drive is small.
Thank you!

I hardly doubt Apple Support recommended Beta software...
The current stable release of Ventura including bug fixes, security updates is macOS Ventura 13.5.2

Apple makes it very clear Betas are offered as is, and here is no support for them outside of the Feedback Assistant App. https://beta.apple.com/sp/betaprogram/submitting

From what is stated above— I see no issue... what exactly do you think the issue is exactly?
KB is nothing, MB is nothing, 1 GB is next to nothing and I do not know what GM is referring to(?)
from the terminal you get a much better understanding of your Drive structure
