What is “Other” storage on a Mac, and how can I clean it out?

Hi!
Please refer to Free up storage space on your Mac - Apple Support, if this does not work, please reply back so I can help you further.
Thanks,
The files that you have control over are located in the Documents, Downloads, Pictures, Music and Movies folders. You can use either of these two free apps, GrandPerspective or OmniDiscSweeper, to find the largest files on your drive so you can determine if they can be deleted or moved to an external HD for storage.
Note: you can empty the Downloads folder after the apps and/or updates that were downloaded have been installed or applied. Many users have found a couple of Gigabytes of files in their Downloads folder which are no longer needed.
You'll need a minimum of 50 GB free space for the installation. Also to facilitate optimal system and application one should strive to maintain about a minimum of 50 GB free space at all times.
theres no "manage" button when I open "about this mac" and click on storage...
I had 5gb storage free (My macbook is old and only has 251gb storage) then downloaded the update for my ipad, now I have 900mb free and it won't update my ipad, because of storage,,, that has been taken up by the update I assume?
most of my storage is being used by "other" whatever and wherever that lives?!
help? lol
