What is "other" known for in how much space you have left?

What is "other" known for in the bar at the bottom where it shows how much space you have left?

Other is usually around 1 GB...
A  ' Large Other ' usually indicates Corrupt Data...
First Try a Restore from Backup... But... if the Large Other Persists, that is an Indicator of Corrupt Data in the Backup... Then a Restore as New is the way to go...

  • How much space I have left?

    My two year old Macbook has 80GB. My hard drive is saying I have 1GB left. How can I find out what is taking all this space up? I took it to the genius bar and the apple employee said I had 20GB of photos and 22GB of music.
    i found out i had 2 copies of all my photos, i fixed that probably and deleted half of them. Now my hard drive is saying i have 8GB of room left. All i do is use it for pictures and music. how can i find out where the other 50GB are going? this seems like a lot of space that i should have freed up. Thanks.
