The Mac Finder is notorious for not correctly showing the size of 'packages' if an app changes the contents of such packages, so my advise would be to ignore it. Or change the destination for incoming synced images like I explained, then you can trash that whole package.

Mobile Downloads.lrdata shows as a separate 'device' in the Lightroom Classic folder panel, just like an external disk. You can drag the photos in it to another folder in the folder panel. In Preferences - Lightroom Sync you can then specify any folder as the destination for incoming cloud images, so Lightroom no longer uses 'Mobile Downloads.lrdata' at all.
