The official link to article on how to handle..

How to free up storage space on your Mac

..is already on same page as this topic thread.


There is no bin specific to 'an accumulation of items' to empty.


What you see all together, are many items across all your Mac files.

There are automatic & also very manual methods to handle these.


The topic of "Other" appears across several years of macOS and

many similar yet slightly different ideas have evolved over time.


Good luck & happy trails!
