Deleted files from Trash

My Mac disc was getting full, and looks like files that were in the trash were deleted automatically to make space.

how can I find some of these files Mac deleted from the trash to make room on my disc?

MacBook Pro disk is nearly full I have a Macbook Pro using Catalina 10.15.6. My disk is nearly full (12.GB left). I have gone into storage/manage files/ large files and removed them. Still pretty full. I am sure I have a lot of unnecessary files still on my hard drive however I don't know how to identify them. Is there an Apple app or program that helps to identify unnecessary duplicate files, system and hidden files from downloaded programs I uninstalled. I am not sure which files to remove that won't destroy my disk. I see there are clean disk program one can download from the internet. I would rather avoid them if possible since I am not sure how safe or effective they are. You'd think by now Apple would have a reasonable way to solve the problem of identifying and removing unnecessary files without being a tech genius . [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Exccessive "Other" Storage Hi All, I've recently back up my MacBook Pro onto a couple of hard drives to free up space. However, when I use "About this Mac" to check my storage situation it says that I have nearly 110GB of storage being used by "Other". This is a big problem as my Mac only has 250GB of storage and I've now only got 75GB left. I can't access the "Other" files in the System Information to delete it and the suggestions online that it's in library don't deem true for my Mac (theres only 5GB in Library) Any idea on what is taking up so much space that's unspecified? And any ideas on how to delete it? Below are screen shots of the About This Mac pack and the cleanup page. Thanks!

Once deleted from the Trash, it's permanent.
