Sometimes you aren't aware of a problem until it becomes a problem.
Normally I notice my hard drive or OK, SSD space by going to the About This Mac, then Storage. This is where I am happy when I see lots of free space. Didn't care about Disk Util until I need to do some more low level job like formatting a new hard drive or a SSD.
Finally I noticed there was a vast difference between what's reported in Storage than what's reported in Disk Util. What matters to me is Disk Util as when I tried to install Catalina there it complains I don't have enough space. This is a WTF moment for me. Disk Storage clearly has enough space while Disk Util is barely not enough.
After much Googling, I found a way, which is kind of counter intuitive, I went ahead and created numerous large files and then deleted them. I don't quite understand what I was doing but in the end it worked.
From what I understand it has to do with iCloud and optimisation. So I had to deactivate them when I did the create and delete files trick.

Also, I just also noticed I can't update Xcode, it would download and install and fail in the end. Again I searched and found out I am not alone on this. Yet another mystery.
