Hello and help!

I noticed I was struggling with storage when I knew I had barely anything on my macbook; the problem was due to me using my company dropbox and having downloaded too many things.

I un-hooked my computer from dropbox, deleted anything I had a copy of on this laptop (which I suspect corresponds to "OTHER" as 50+ gigs feels about right), re-linked myself to my dropbox and thought that should do it.
Sadly not the case.

Annoyingly, whist I was looking at the storage issues I also noticed that I had some iPhone backups which I didn't need due to the Cloud. I deleted those as well: one did vanish, the other now named "SYSTEM" seems also stuck in this limbo status.

Any suggestions as to what I might need to do to clear these?

Many thanks for taking the time to read through, and any help you might throw my way.
