Have a look at About this Mac->Storage. If you click on 'manage' it may
may be useful. Eg I found many gigs of iOS updates recently from the
last couple of years. It does take time to scan the drive so leave it
open for a little while and come back to it.
Otherwise, I think you can expect every OS update to need more hard
drive and RAM so you're going to have to find ways to archive stuff
somewhere by the sound of it. It'll need more virtual memory, I expect
and that needs lots of space on the HD.

Hi everyone,
I am running 10.15.6 (Catalina) on a mid 2017 MBA with a 128GB SSD.
Before Catalina I usually had around 25GB of free space. A couple of
days ago it was down to just under 5GB without having massively added
videos/photos etc.
I did a PRAM & SMC reset this morning and deleted a few attachments in
iMessage (and there’s probably more I can do) so I am now back up to
just over 12GB.
I believe Catalina is greedy for disk space. Will Big Sur be similar?
Any tips from anyone who has experienced similar problems?
Thanks,
Nick
