Trouble with reinstall

Not sure if this is the right place. But I bought a used Mac air 2017. I did a erase and reinstall. When I did the erase it looked like nothing erased. I did it twice and thought it worked. It did to a point. It looks like a new reinstall but when I try to upgrade to Monterey after it downloaded said it don’t have enough space. I have 128 and only 9 gb left . It has nothing on it but a new install. Should it not be like 56gb used and he rest free? It’s like nothing erased. I’m lost. Need help thanks.

Do you have more than one partition? If you don’t know you should probably check
