Over 130 Gb in the Other category of storage! on my 250 Gb hard drive???

I have over 130 Gb in the Other category of storage! I just updated to Big Sur 11.6, and have only 14 Gb left on my 250 Gb hard drive, MacBook Pro 2016. I live in a rural area, where internet is 4 mb dnload & 0.4 upload. I have deleted caches, downloads, history files, moved photos and music and backups to external drives, and I can't really use iCloud with my slow internet speeds. If I back up, do the wipe it clean as for sale, and start from backup, will I still get all the junk in Other again????

I googled the file name map.gmail.com and found this- from 2018 thread on this forum!

You would be safe to delete all those logs.

Disable log connection activity

I just deleted the logs and now have 110 GB freed up!
