So my Macbook runs OS Catalina and 84GB of storage on my Mac is taken up by a category called “other”. I’ve deleted almost everything on my Mac (PDFs, DMGs, Unnecessary apps, Old/Unneeded Files, Music/MP3 Files etc) and the “Other” storage still seems to haven’t changed. Is there anything I can do about this?

The final word from Apple on Managing the " Other " Category
Other: Contains files that don’t fall into the categories listed here. This category primarily includes files and data used by the system, such as log files, caches, VM files, and other runtime system resources. Also included are temporary files, fonts, app support files, and plug-ins. You can't manage the contents of this category. The contents are managed by macOS, and the category varies in size depending on the current state of your Mac.
