Q: How to clear up space on MacBook Air
Hello,
Under 'About this Mac'/ Storage, the breakdown of GB, there is 55gb and increasing in the "other" category.
I am able to delete music and videos, but how can I clear the "other"? I don't know how to even see what it means.
My MacBook Air has only 121GB.
Thanks,
Jacqueline
MacBook Air, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

Download from the Internet OmniDiskSweeper and Grand Perspective (both free) and open them. They will show all of your files and the respective sizes. Transfer to an external HDD or delete files you no longer want on your MBP.
Do not forget to empty trash. Only then is space allocated for new data.
