I reset my m1 MacBook Pro due to this and it was gone for a few days and then the same large 100gb of data just comes back. This is only a 256gb device so I can’t not have this space. Thanks

Same frustrating issue with ios and ipad os. Apple really needs to fix this.

Double check on what content you have “shared” something like a shared album with friends or family can cause this so maybe check your Apple ID shared content

Can give some of these solutions a try. I'd try checking hidden directories in Library, if that doesn't work, I'm not sure. Best of luck
