Q: I have an iMac

I have an iMac 21.5 Mid 2011 with a 2.7 GHz Intel core i5.  16 GB memory and 1 tb capacity.  I'm running OS X El Capitan Version 10.11.4. 

 

My problem is that a couple of days ago my system started running very slow.  It takes 60 plus seconds to open a program or file while the beach ball spins. 

 

I have 98 GB free but all the space that is being used is listed as "other" (yellow color) and not the typical breakout of movies, photos, Apps, etc.

 

I haven't tried anything yet.  Any ideas?  Thanks in advance for your help.

iPhoto '11, OS X Mavericks (10.9.1)
