"The label 'Other' is applied by the system to files that don't fit squarely into those types, such as installer packages, cache files, old backups, app extensions, temporary files and the like. Most are those that you don't need any more, but they've got to be stored somewhere, so they get dumped in the Other category." MacWorld UK
