The categories found in the Storage section of About This Mac is simply an arbitrary way of displaying files on your drive. If you have more than one disk/partition then repeat for each one on your Desktop. You will find the disk information displayed for Capacity, Available, and Used. Press Command-I to open the Get Info window and look at the topmost panel displayed. To find out the correct information for any disk: Select a Desktop disk icon.

IS THERE a straightforward way to minimize this system storage because you'd think apple would have thought this one through, surely they wouldn't intentionally advertise a 120 GB laptop with access to only 30 GB after 2 years of use.Do not use the information from the Storage section of the About This Mac dialog.

I'm on a late 2015 Macbook Air, MacOS Sierra.
