How do I clear space on my MacBook?

How do i delete files in "other users"? Right now I'm not able to access that section when I'm in the manage storage pane.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15

One should never alter, modify, move, delete anything in this Category. Doing so may render the OS unstable and / or Corrupt the OS to the point of having to reinstall the OS
