In "about this Mac" storage is showing 7gb Audio (blue), 24 gb Movie (purple), 27 gb photos (orange), 10 gb Apps (green) - all makes sense
BUT
243 gb Other (yellow) leaving only 5 gb "free"
- what can be taking up this "other" space?
Thanks

“Other” Storage:
A commonly asked question is what is included in the "Other” storage category reported in the About This Mac Storage display. Other includes everything that is not audio, movies, photos, apps and backups. In other words it includes the OS, mail, documents... See http://pondini.org/OSX/LionStorage.html and What is "Other" and What Can I Do About It? and Apple Support Communities https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-5142
Also see Where did my disk space go: http://pondini.org/OSX/DiskSpace.html
The instructions below will help you delete and/or offload files that are in “Other.”
For suggestions on freeing disk space see https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5695360?answerId=24222407022#24222407022 .
