In the About this Mac storage page Documents are taking up about 426GB of space (1TB SSD)
How can I find out what is actually in the documents space?
Looking in finder Documents there only seems to be one folder and a sub folder with no contents in either.
I only have about 40 gb of space left. All photos and videos which take up a lot of space are on the cloud.
Documents are not just whats in your document folder. Any app that stores or creates a document including your desktop would shows as documents.

Many thanks for the link I do get rather confused with some Apple workings. I use the Mac and a PC and much more familiar with building and using PC's.
Your link very useful thanks.
