Nothing looks way out of whack there. Library, Private, and System have a little more than usual depending on what you have installed. Run the commands below and see what is in each of those.
Does /Users at 32GB sounds about right for your personal data?
Code:
sudo du -d 1 -x -c -g /Library
sudo du -d 1 -x -c -g /System
sudo du -d 1 -x -c -g /private
Another idea, hold the shift key at boot once to do a
safe mode boot. Then restart again normally afterwards. A safe boot will clear all temporary cache files that might be using up space.
Users at 32GB is definitely way too much. This isn't only something taking up space though, I am also losing space. I booted my mac yesterday, logged in and made sure nothing was open. I opened up about this mac and clicked on storage. I saw that I had 4GB free. I had a piece of toast, then came back. I had gone down to 2GB! I took this mac to an IT guy and they went through my entire computer with disk inventory. They thought that I probably had a virus duplicating itself. When I got it back, I saw that I had 17GB free. I closed the mac lid and put it in my bag. 3 hours later I watched 2 hours of YouTube. At the end of the YouTube session I had 15GB free. The IT guy said I had a few out of control log files. He showed me where they were and said he deleted them. Well I check again and they're still there.
Here are the new results after the IT guy "cleaned" my mac.

While writing this, I lost 1GB of space!
Taking a look in activity monitor, I could see several unusual things. My CPU has random spikes caused by the process "tccd".
The process "systemstatsd" has written 4GB in the time my mac has been on (30 minutes).
And the process "kernal_task" has written 3GB.
Any ideas as to what might be eating my space and what is already consuming it?
At the moment, about this mac gives me 17GB free, when terminal says I am using 95GB total. Any idea why this could be?
Thanks for all the help
EDIT: systemstatsd has written another Gigabyte since I posted this. So 1GB in 2 minutes.
