Thunderbird takes 100GB space
Same profile existing in Thunderbird and one is taking up 100 GB space. The Cloud station folder was setup before, and I have no history of it, it might be a shared drive, I don't know why it takes up 100 gb of space and it has a same copy on the Users profile with lesser storage around 33 gb. Can somebody help, i'm not deleting any profiles cause I don't want to accidentally delete emails and the profile has emails older than 2020.

I encourage you to look in the profiles as that is the only place that has the answer. Locate the folder with the high usage. It's probably in imapmail\<imapaccount> folder. There may be other files there, such as detritus of failed compactions that can be quickly deleted. Post a screenshot of the contents of the large folder to get suggestions.
Are you asking why the profile in the CloudStation directory is so big? That would be a question for CloudStation people, not Thunderbird.
According to your screen shots, the number of either folders or files don't match between the Cloud and the User profile. Your screen shots does not show the entire figure, but the first digit does not match.
On the Cloud the first digit shows : 8 On the User profile the first digit shows : 1
So you should compare those numbers.
Very likely one profile is configured as POP3(Cloud) and the other is configured as IMAP (Local).

This has nothing to do with cloudstation.
Expanding on what has already been said, we need to see "profiles" expanded, and in the largest directory under profiles also expanded the largest directories in imapmail and "local folders"
