This link should give you an understanding of what 'Other' is:

You do not want to get rid of it.
If you are constrained for space on your internal drive, download from the Internet OmniDiskSweeper (free). It will show all of your files and the respective sizes. Delete or transfer files to an external HDD those you do not want on your internal drive.
Ciao.
