I use portable. I see the problem seems to happen with adaptive storage. I usually use it as portable since I have a v20 as well and sometimes switch back temporarely (when I send the phone for warranty) lol

Hello, I just noticed that my SD card doubled in size after the update and System is now using 130GB of 256GB

The card is a 128GB Samsung evo
It must be the Evo in conjunction with the update. I just ugraded from a SanDisk 128gb and saw no issues. When I put the new Samsung Evo Select 256gb, it too has "doubled" and it showing 512gb. I can't seem to add photos/screen shots from from my phone due to some forum moderator block, but it shows I have a 512gb SD card, with 216gb of system files on it. Btw I am using adaptive internal, not removable storage.
