macOS high sierra system files taking too much space

All of a sudden my mac is reporting that there is only 6GB left on my SSD.

The OS claims that the system files are taking up way more storage than they actually are.

I ran OmniDiskSweeper and it reports that I'm using 121.6GB whereas macOS reports I'm using 236GB.


Does anyone know what I can do as there does not seem to be anything there I can delete?

MacBook Pro, macOS High Sierra (10.13.3), null

This just happened! This is not normal. High Sierra has a bug. I've watched my HD space and have had plenty. And now suddenly I have none and 'system' has taken 120GB. This is ridiculous.
