Clearing "Other" Documents from Storage

Hi, welcome to the Apple Users Community.

Have you emptied the trash recently? A restart would probably help and make sure as a photographer, possibly using photoshop maybe, clear your scratch disks or clipboard perhaps.

Best of luck

The Other category is a potpourri of files which include:

• System temporary files

• macOS system folders

• Archives and disk images (.zip, .iso, etc. - often found in the Downloads folder)

• Personal user data

• Files from the user’s library (Application Support, iCloud files, screensavers, etc.)

• Cache files

• Fonts, plugins, extensions

• Other files that are not recognized by a Spotlight search

• Media files that cannot be classified by Spotlight as a media file because they are located inside of a package

The can be anywhere on the hard drive. You can use either of these two free apps, GrandPerspective  or OmniDiscSweeper, to find the largest files on your drive so you can determine if they can be deleted or moved to an external HD for storage.
