How do I remove 600gb of "system data" from my MacBook Pro? • I see some folks advise procedures involve hunting around with terminal, which scares me too much and is also too time consuming. • Others suggest a third party app like "DaisyDisk" or "CleanMyMac."

After following Rudegar advice you can erase your drive and reinstall files and the system data should drop by quite a bit. I have tested that process on several Macs and always works.
