Local backups
thanks for response but that's not it - in that Backup was only on old ipod backup with not much on it. there are no iOS devices backed up to this computer. any other suggestions?
Try OmniDiskSweeper. This will show the storage size details of the items.

Select Macintosh HD and click “Sweep Selected Drive” at the bottom.
Be careful. Delete only the files that can be safely deleted. If you are not sure about any file, don’t touch it.
thank you - no other way without introducing another piece of software?
Where are backups on my computer, they are consuming lots of storage
