Hi there Rajeev1201,


It sounds like you're asking how to delete items from the 'Other' storage category on your MacBook Air. We're glad you've joined us in Apple Support Communities, and we can provide some guidance. The 'Other' category on your Mac consists of caches, history, reading lists, and other temporary files that don't fall into one of the other storage categories you see when viewing the Storage tab in Apple menu  > About This Mac.


You'll want to follow the guidance in the support article below to clear storage space on your Mac, and the suggestions that appear when selecting 'Manage Storage' in the Storage tab in Apple menu  > About This Mac.


How to free up storage space on your Mac


Cheers.
