How to clean up startup disk?

I am attempting to clean up my startup disk on my Mac OSX 10.7.4 Macbook Air as I only have 14 GB of memory free. My audio, videos, photos and apps take up a total of 21.77 GB of space when I check in my storage option of About This Mac. However, there is a wopping 23.97 GB of Other taking up my startup disk. How do I figure out what this other is composed of and how can I be rid of it? IS there memory being taken up from my internet history that needs deleting? Or is this something more significant?


Thanks a lot! Any advice is greatly appreciated!

MacBook Air, Mac OS X (10.7.4), 1 year old
