Other Storage taking up 280 GB out of 500 GB

I've looked up how to delete files off of "Other" but even taking all of my largest files, they do not account for 280 gigabytes of storage. Do you have any idea what could be causing this? This seems like an insane amount of storage for Other to be taking up.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.6
