Folder "Other"

Hi,

I have a mac Air wiht 128gig and the "other" folder is taking 75gig of space which prevent me to install the latest software update.


What is in that folder and how do I delete the files in there to have more space.


thank you

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.15

Try something like OmniDiskSweeper for a GUI to get a good look at itemized file size and location:
