Macs don’t need defragmentation, and if you have a modern Mac with an SSD, you can actually harm your Mac by defragmenting it. Macs with SSD drives manage file storage differently than old HDD Macs, so defragmenting them can actually do harm. Your best bet is to create backups of your file system, and often. I had a large system file using up over 800 GB on my iMac Pro. Which was massively high. But i could not find those files by search 'About this Mac' storage. System storage can occupy tens of gigabytes of space on your Mac for Time Machine backups and cache files. It should be managed by macOS so you’re never short of space. But if you want to do a system storage cleanup, or just free up more space on your Mac, give CleanMyMac X a go. You might be surprised by how much space you get back. My Mid 2012 MacBook Pro 13' says I suddenly ran out of Storage space. My Mac barely has any data and my upgrade to Sierra was a clean install. Nothing was ported from previous backups. If you see the image below, the 'System' section in the left column says that it is consuming 466.82 GB.
