Q: 10.63 gb of drive is "other"

I have a mid-2012 MacBook Air with flash drive and 4gb of ram.  I'm running El Capitan 10.11.3.

 

For several weeks I keep getting disk full messages.  I run both Memory Monitor and Disk Care to keep trash, cases, etc. cleared. 

 

When I check Storage on About This Mac, it shows 10.63 gb as "other."

 

This weekend I cleared 2 gb of documents.  Have tried to figure out how to clear Photos mac memory and still be sure all the photos are on the cloud, but can't seem to do this.

 

I have run Omni DiskSweeper and it seems a lot of the "other" is in app support or the library.  How can I tell which files are safe to delete?

 

Thanks.

MacBook Air, OS X El Capitan (10.11.3)
