Deleting files and data from macbook pro

I have 35 gigs left on my macbook pro. I have 3 back ups. My question is this. The storage box indicates 80 "other" gigs on my stoarge. What is that?

And if I can should I delete it? My puter is running slow.

Mac Pro, iOS 5.1.1

“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
