Thats a good idea to check as it was not that long ago I installed CCC on my private Macs. We do all backups in the studio and on a webhotel like a cloud but with unlimited GB/TB and always have the backups off site and only pay per used GB per month.
But at home I always just moved the sessions onto a T5 Samsung SSD and brought that with me to the studio and if anything was good enough to work on we backed up that session offsite and to our SSD’s.
... so Time Machine could be activated by mistake by me.
Also as the ”system” use that 160GB I wonder what that means and whats included in the system count ..
As I see how much GB’s programs and documents use for example and thats where the DAW’s and all the audio programs are so its weird what is included in the system GB count.
I will check all your advice and report. Really greatful for all your help and I hope to find whats eating up my SSD
