Unable to clear 10GB, and unsure why. Most my file usage is type "other" which doesn't make alot of sense to me...

Why can't I clear space? What's using all those GBs? No the 10 yrs of thousands of photos. Not the one 3 min. video. I'm guessing not the thousands of PDFs. Deleted all large file software. Whatever it is, seems to be hidden files taking up 80% of my hard drive. What should I do?

The "Other" category is controlled by the operating system, not you. Review See used and available storage space on your Mac - Apple Support and in particular the Other discussion:
