Q: I don't have any idea why the "other" tab is taking too much space.

I was looking how much space I had because I just moved my movies to an externalHD drive but for some reason the "other" tab was taking most of the space. I did a reindexing because I thought it was just an error but it was still like that. Please help me. From DaisyDisk, it says that the "var/folder/_5/" was taking most of the space.
