System Data showing over 600GB

My Mac doesn't have a lot of free space- which makes no sense at all. I have almost everything on external hard drives. Today, in an effort to save space, I moved my iMovie library and my Final Cut Pro library to my externals as well (containing a total of 100GB), and it did not free up any space on my Mac. This makes no sense.

iMac (2017 – 2020)

Hi,

Try to start up in Safe mode, then normal boot if it could solve your issue.

Use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support

If it doesn't help, run First Aid of DiskUtility and see if it could solve the issue.
