The "Other Users" category is a catch all for files that don't fit in the above categories and not part of the default system files. Having another User is obviously one part of this. Here are other files that may be included:

  • Device backup files to iTunes
  • Files in the Download folder. There is a category for Documents, but not Downloads.
  • User installed system files not part of the default OS like wallpapers, extensions and App support files.
  • Files on your Desktop.


Basically, any file not in one of the defined categories.

What I am seeing for the "Red" color is iOS files... is this possible ?





From the Terminal.app you can see an itemized list of file size in the home folder, copy and paste:

sudo du -h -d 1 ~/
