System data use more than half storage on macbook pro

I have cleaned up alot of apps (that can be deleted, some apps apple won't let me for some odd reason) and a lot of documents but I'm still lacking in storage space because the system data is taking up THREE times as much. i dont understand why, is there a way to reduce the system data?

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 13.5

My Mac book air has 92 GB of system data taking up space. My mac book air 2015 is saying that there is 92 GB of system data taking up space. i cleared everything off my computer to see if it would help and even got a clean my Mac software to get rid of extra junk. it is still saying this. I really don’t want to buy another laptop. Mine is in great condition- I just need storage.

Why is system data taking up 70+ GB of storage on my MacBook, and how can I reduce it? So when I checked About this Mac > Storage, I found that "system data" was taking up 77.52 GB. What could be the reason for this, and how do I fix it?
