Most likely it's the OS. So you won't be able to RID it.

No OS takes up i think around 20gb. But mine takes up 70 for some reason. I think its all like cache files but cleaners don't get rid of them

Alright so i figured it out. I downloaded OmniDiskSweeper and i was able to see how many GB were used in certain locations. After i saw what was there i was able to delete unused applications and it brought my storage down to 34GB.
