So, something seems to be using space, but not showing itself??
On my computer, the files seem to be bigger than the used space.
I've heard mention of garbage collection, but the methods of triggering
it are uncertain. That's why I suggested trying the factory reset in
the BIOS. I think I've heard that sometimes just rebooting when it's
full can also trigger it, but I don't remember any details.

had tried reboot about 5 times, but nothing changed.
As my recent message. Removing the CDROM option made a huge
change, but removing the windows did nothing??
So, am very confused. Fortunatly, my other 5 machines are not EFI
setup. All running Fedora 43.
How is that possible? How old are they?
Thanks again, perhaps someone with have some magic information
on the EFI to explain what happened and why??
No one really knows, it's managed by the BIOS. Fortunately you found a
solution.
