Let me show you how to delete other files on your Mac. This may be taking hundreds of gigabytes of storage on your Mac. You can find it by clicking the apple logo, choosing about this Mac, and selecting storage.
Here, you’ll see a grey bar showing the amount of storage taken up by “other” storage.
If you click manage, you won’t be able to delete other files or remove anything from that section. It will only show how much storage it is taken up.
One thing I recommend before doing this. First, make sure to backup your Mac to a time machine. All you need to do this is an external hard drive.
Here is a dedicated Time Machine video if you haven’t backed up your Mac before.

In order to delete other files on Mac, you need to download software. There is no other easy way to remove files.
You can try CleanMyMacX for free.

If you backup before deleting "other" then that means you saved the "other" storage..smh

The scan doesn't seem to give me access to "other files". It is showing my system files as 16GB and then it goes onto applications and lower GB files. My Mac still says I have 48GB of other storage not seen in the scans. Any advice?

If my imac started with 1T and I now have 250GB left but most of the space taken up is by OTHER can my imac still run ok? (Also I went to caches but I'm not sure which caches can be removed..I use my computer for music production and most of caches folders are from my the plugins and Vst/Au that I use..)
