Other 'storage' on MacBook

Hi! I am trying to deal with Other storage on my MacBook (MacBook Pro 2017). I tried with Clean My Mac -> this didn't help. Then I made a full storage reset and I restored my data with Time Machine -> this helped for a while. I wanted to update my system to MacOS Big Sur, but unfortunately I didn't had enough space (the other storage started to grow again).

Today I wanted to do a full storage reset (again), restore my data with Time Machine (again) and update the system. Unfortunately I am not able to -> the other storage got restored and I do not have enough space.

Could you please tell me how to delete other storage? It takes about 50 GB on my computer and I don't know what to do with it.

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