I have a MacBookPro 2010 that runs El Capitan. I'm sure I deleted all the iMovie Projects and Events and now I have maximum 1 GB of video. Yet Disk Utility and About this Mac Storage claim that my hard disk has 58,76 GB of movies. I'd be glad to delete those GBs but I don't know where they are. Could you please tell me what to do?
MacBook Pro 15″, OS X 10.11

Check the Trash bin and make sure it has been emptied.
Where the iMoves stored on an External drive ?
Attach the External Drive and check the Trash Bin again.
Yes, sounds obvious but sometime we ( me too ) forget the obvious.
Rebuild the Spotlight index on your Mac
Or Force a Reindex via Terminal Command “ sudo tmutil -E / “ without Quotation Marks

Thank you for your prompt reply. The Trash Bin is empty, a USB that I used to copy a couple of commercial DVDs has the Trash Bin empty when attached, I've never used external drives to store iMovie (I don't know how to do it) and the command: sudo tmutil -E / is not valid for Terminal. So I still have 58,76 GB of "Filmati" (this MacBookPro speaks Italian)!
Hallo! I had checked the "Other" Storage and didn't find any films, I deleted all the double files and caches from the browsers, dmg. and old apps. No large files were found. I downloaded OmniDiskSweeper which stopped sweeping at 42,6 GB whilst I've used 242 GB. No films found. But apart from these 58,76 GB of "invisible" movies the Mac in question has 23,74 GB of audio (I don't use Garage Band, I only have my iTunes Library). At the same time my MacBookPro M1 of 2020 contains not only the same music library but even more music added later and the About This Mac Storage says 6,75 GB of Music.
58,76 GB stored movies that don' exist.
