System files taking up too much space on my HD. I got a prompt saying that I was running low on HD space. For my surprise I found out that the system files are taking up most of my HD space. I use the computer for home, so I don't run any heavy software, just the usual, MS Office, iTunes, Chrome, etc. This is a new Mac and on my previous machines I don't remember that the system files would take the majority of the HD. Does this seem normal? Running Monterrey Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated! Thanks. Andres [Image Edited by Moderator to Remove Serial Number]

Massive system file I'm using a mid-2015 iMac with 1TB SSD. Still using Sierra - there's some old software I want to keep using. Recently it began to slow down and I discovered that the system file had bloated to over 600GB! What is going on and how do I get it back within common sense? Note - I did consider updating the system anyway but - can't seem to get the Updater to run. Also note - I'm no geek - complex cleaning procedures will give me a brane crash.
