Mac Storage Space

The "other" portion of my mac HD is taking up 2/3 of my storage. Is there a way to see or manage the "other" portion? Has anyone else experienced this issue?

Storage Taken Up by "Other" Category I have a Mac Mini purchased in late 2014. It is operating fine but my 500 GB solid state drive is consistently filling up. I keep my folders fairly clean but of the 500 GB, nearly 200 GB is being used by the Other category when I evaluate my storage, so I am losing 40% of my storage. I have read some articles on how to clean this up, but those have only allowed me to free about 15 GB of storage. I'd like to get rid of most of the other 200 GB so I can have more flexibility and stop running into issues with backups and such. How do I view what is stuck in the Other category so I can determine what I can get rid of?
