If it does say “Other users”, anot “Other”, then it’s possible that the content in question is under the “Shared” folder.

You can reach it in the Finder by first pressing Command-Shift-H to open your home folder; then press Command-UpArrow to move one level up. Then you will see Shared and, possibly, the home folders of other user accounts if they exist. If there is only your own user home and the Shared folder: select Shared and press Command-I to open its Info window. It tells you how much space it’s using. Then open Shared and see what is inside.
