General Storage and Disk Utility showing different values

Hi, I was running low on storage and cleared some things off my computer, storing them on my icloud drive. I can see that this worked by going to my settings -> General -> storage (screenshot #1) and figured I now had a lot more space on my laptop. However, after going to my Disk Utility, this doesn't seem to be the case. It still shows that I only have about 30 Gbs left on my drive which differs greatly from what the storage says (Screenshot #2). Why might this be the case? Do I need to do something else after moving the stuff to my icloud drive?


Also, not sure if it matters, but on the data section of my utility drive, I can see the "Available" section matching what my storage is saying (Screenshot #3)
