Q: 'Other' is filling up my flash storage. Help.

Problem: My MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Mid 2014)'s 256 GB storage is rapidly filling up with only 26 GB remaining. Within the past 3 weeks, the 'Free' space has reduced from 60 GB to 26 GB and falling. I have not saved anything new on the machine during that time.

 

Storage Info: 'Other' currently has 144 GB, Movies 29 GB, Apps 29 GB, Photos 13 GB, Backups 5 GB and Audio 3 GB. 'All my Files' has 2100 documents = 2.24 GB.

 

Troubleshooting completed: Spoke to AppleCare agent. Cleaned out cookies, cache, trash and several files, but nothing has helped create more 'Free' space. Not sure what 'Other' is, but it is taking up 144 GB of storage.

 

HELP!!!!!!!!

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X El Capitan (10.11.6), i5
