If you want to see what's taking space on your drive, use the free OmniDiskSweeper or Disk Inventory X. Do NOT use CleanMyMac (better called RuinMyMac) or other 3rd party apps to 'clean' your space. The above utilities show you the biggest users of space – mostly those turn out to be your own data (as one example, the cloud storage solution I use for work has a 200 GB cache for local files that macOS lumps in with Applications in System Settings > Storage).
