"Other" category for my mac storage

Can anyone advise what this category means and if there's a way to delete files or manage it? My storage is almost full and this "other" is a huge part of the problem. Thank you

I have OS X Yosemite 10.10.5

MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013), null

This is the Lion 10.7 forum, not the Yosemite forum.
