MacBook Pro system files increased to 193GB after update

After the update Golden Gate 27.0 on my MacBook Pro, my Systeemgegevens (systemfiles) went from 65GB to 193GB.

What is the solution for this issue?

Hi,

Startup in Safe Mode: Shut down your Mac completely, turn it on while holding the power button until startup options appear, select your disk, hold the Shift key, and click Continue in Safe Mode. This action safely deletes leftover system cache files.
