Hello,


"Other" refers to data used by you and your third-part applications. This is data that does not fall into the rest of the categories given by macOS, therefore, "other" is kind of like a miscellaneous folder. This support page will show you some ways that you can clear up some space on your internal storage device How to free up storage space on your Mac - Apple Support. The section named "Reduce Clutter" can assist you in identifying data that you may no longer need.
