While managing storage on my MacAir there are apparently music videos in the app Music which take up 25.77 Gb. In the app there are no music videos to be located. Nor have I ever loaded music videos on to the Mac. I have made home movies in iMovie but these are all exported. So where might these supposed music videos be? Of course I want to free up space where possible.

Hi amgreven,
Thanks for the information. It certainly is odd you're unable to locate the files to remove the music videos. We'd recommend booting to safe mode and checking as well. How to use safe mode on your Mac

Thank you for offering your advice. Of course I have managed storage space as described in the suggestions. No videos in Apple TV, no videos in Music. All the same there are 25.77 Gb music videos according to the information provided.
By the way, how do I access "home/music?" Once gain thanks for your kind advice.
I have now erased the 25.77 GB in file browser which has solved the problem, even though according to music there are still 25.77 GB being stored. Once again thanks for your interest and help.
Thanks for the info, I will certainly use it!
