You cannot clear the other category - see here:

However, the best approach is to delete or move space hogging files such as movies, videos, photos, etc. to an external drive. You need to maintain a minimum of 15 - 20 GB of empty space at all times so the OS and system can function efficiently and properly. And, if you fill it up completely, it will simply stop functioning altogether.
