I have several nodes where this is happening. I have no local backups, no images, no templates, the entire folder/sub folders in the /var/lib/vz location are empty. What would be using up 10-15GB of space?

v8.4.1

Try this to find out
Bash:
apt install gdu
gdu -x /

Size reported is the whole partition size where folder is stored.
By default with ext4/Lvm install, this is the whole Linux OS system size + the stored iso.

It does something similar to df -h /var/lib/vz behind the scenes.

gdu -x / shows that.

As _gabriel has already pointed out - your Proxmox local storage is showing your entire root (& OS) disk usage.
If you want to see where that space is being used - try:
Code:
 du -h -x -d1 /
The OS itself will consume ~3.5GB & most likely the rest is going to be in the logs history & the apt cache.
