Hi Saravanan L,
Thanks for coming to Apple Support Communities for help with storage space on your Mac. While it is difficult to speculate what is stored in your "Other" category, this article can help you free up space on your drive: How to free up storage space on your Mac.
Under "Manage storage on your Mac" you'll find 4 options to create more space on your drive. Selecting "Reduce Clutter" and "Optimize Storage" may reduce what is in your "Other" category.
Have a fantastic day!

Thank you.
