how to delete hidden movie files.

Under "Storage" my mac book air says I have 159.91GB of movies. BUT I have about 1 GB of home movies on my computer that I can find (.mp4 files) Where are the others and how can I get rid of them? I'm not very tech savvy and do wonder if I need to go into some store to have this done. Thanks in advance for any help and/or advice.

MacBook Air 13", OS X 10.10

Reveal "Movies" in the sidebar:

Go Here: Desktop > Finder > Preferences> Sidebar > Click: Movies

Now, in every Finder window, "Movies" will pop up as an option to select on the Left-Hand side of the Finder window.
