storage on my MacBook pro

I am struggling with cleaning my MacBook to give myself more storage space. My mac states I only have 13 gb left out of 500gb. I do have doc and photos going to my iCloud account which I have purchased a higher storage of 2tb and i still did not clear up the storage on my MacBook.

Here's Apple's advice: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT206996


One solution is just to copy off to an external drive the files you don't need to routinely access.


Personally, I use the free Disk Inventory X (http://www.derlien.com) to see what's taking up space.
