How to delete files from 'Other' folder? I am facing space issue for My MacBook Pro and when I check my storage then I observe that 'Other' folder size is 91GB. I have no clue what is this and what files it is storing? I am not able to navigate to Other folder and due to this I am not able to delete it. So please let me know how to clean this folder to fix the space issue. Device Information: MacBook Pro 2017 (2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7) macOS Big Sur

Hidden Files Using 250 GB of Memory I have a 500 GB hard drive on my MacBook Pro. I store all my files in various folders that are located directly on my desktop. I am a photographer and do some video from time to time which will take up a lot of space. Currently the folders that I store on my desktop contain 199 GB in total. I know the system uses some gigabytes, but I must have at least 250 GB of space taken up by things I don't know where they are. How do I find them to delete them? Thanks! Pat M.
