Hi,
Your Mac “Other storage” contains files that don’t fall into the categories listed here (Apps, Document folders, iCloud Drive, iOS Files, TV, Music, Books, and Podcasts Mail, Messages, Music creation, photos, trash, apps and files from macOS).
This category primarily includes files and data used by the system, such as log files, caches, VM files, and other runtime system resources. Also included are temporary files, fonts, app support files, and plug-ins. You can't manage the contents of this category. The contents are managed by macOS, and the category varies in size depending on the current state of your Mac.
You will have to navigate through your files to clear this "Other system data". I have created a video about this with steps.
You can have a look and see if you are able to follow it : https://youtu.be/9P4oqri4dYc?si=1WT4JKtmYfdnfTrd
