Unable to find "Other" storage type files

1. In macOS, the "Other" storage category typically represents various types of files that don't fit neatly into other predefined categories like Documents, Photos, or Applications. It can include cached files, system files, temporary files, and more. If you're unable to locate or identify the "Other" storage on your MacBook Pro running macOS 10.15, here are some steps you can take to manage and potentially reduce it:
2. Use Storage Management:
   1. Go to the Apple menu > "About This Mac" > "Storage."
   2. Click the "Manage…" button. This will open the Storage Management tool.
   3. Review the recommendations provided. macOS may offer options to optimize storage, empty the trash, reduce clutter, and manage files stored in iCloud.
   4. Use the tools provided to clean up unneeded files, especially those in the "Other" category.
3. Empty Trash:
   1. Make sure you've emptied the trash completely. Files you delete remain in the trash until you empty it.
4. Clear Browser Cache:
   1. Web browsers often store cached files that can contribute to the "Other" storage. Clear the cache in your web browsers (Safari, Chrome, Firefox, etc.).
5. Manage iCloud Drive:
   1. If you use iCloud Drive, consider reviewing and cleaning up files stored there.
6. Check System Storage:
   1. In the Storage Management tool, you can check the breakdown of "System" storage. If it's using a significant amount of space, it might be due to system files and caches. Unfortunately, macOS 10.15 doesn't provide a detailed breakdown of these files.
7. Run Disk Cleanup Tools:
   1. Third-party tools like CleanMyMac, DaisyDisk, and OnyX can help identify and remove unnecessary files, including cache and system files.
8. Check Application Cache:
   1. Some applications might store large caches. You can often find cache folders within the Application Support directory in your user Library folder.
9. Restart Your Mac:
   1. A simple restart can sometimes help clear temporary files and caches.
10. Manage Downloads Folder:
    1. Check your Downloads folder and delete files you no longer need.
11. Backup and Reinstall macOS (Advanced):
    1. If you're still unable to locate or manage the "Other" storage and it's causing significant issues, you might consider backing up your data and performing a clean macOS installation.
12. Remember that managing "Other" storage can sometimes be a bit complex, and it might not be possible to reduce it drastically. It's also important to be cautious when using third-party cleanup tools and to back up your data before making any major changes to your system.
