Hi! Yes! So i checked into time machine and it wasnt causing the problem. I ended up calling apple and he had me "index" the hard drive. Im not entirely sure what that means or why it needed to be done. It worked in the background for about 18 hours (i couldnt see it doing anything) and after the 18 hours was up, my hard drive was back to normal and my others storage file only takes up 40gb now. Its so weird, no explanation, but what he did worked! Thank you for looking into it and checking in on me!

Yes. Trash has been emptied numerous times.

I just bought a brand new macbook pro last week with 1tb storage. I noticed today that my others folder is over 440gb. Ive googled and deleted many, many files, including cache and basic files that existed on the computer previously (fonts, etc.) Ive restarted several times and my others storage actually increased! I bought the clean my mac app and theres nothing left to remove. I dont understand what is taking up so much space in the others storage. Im absolutely baffled. Please help!
