Update Mac
I am trying to update my Mac by installing macOS Monterey. When I go to install it says I do not have enough space. How can I free up space?
New to Macs.. Thanks!
An update is always within the Existing Version of macOS. Example High Sierra macOS 10.13.5 to High Sierra macOS 10.13.6
An upGrade is moving from High Sierra macOS 10.13 to Monterey macOS 12.

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.
