Hi alicezyc,
We see you have a large amount of storage space being taken up by "Other" on your Mac.
Depending on your macOS version, the "Other" category may include any files that are not automatically sorted into one of the pre-set categories such as Apps, Documents, Photos, etc. If a file cannot be sorted into one of those categories, it may fall under Other.

Additionally, if you haven't already, take a moment to ensure your Mac is on the latest incremental update of macOS. You can confirm if you have any incremental updates using the steps below:
Feel free to reach back out with the version of macOS you're on if you have any further questions or are still unable to locate your data that is taking up unexpected space.
Cheers!
