I deleted all of my hard drive and there always 219 GB of the 'other' listed.  How can I find on that fits all that space?

Old MacBook Pro.  250 GB drive is full.  I have deleted or moved the docs, photo and music on an external drive and in ' on the Mac - memory "it says I 219 GB of"other ".  How can I know what 'other' is and delete the useless/applications/etc?

First of all understand what OTHER actually represents

If it seems an excessive amount on the screen "about this Mac", often a re-indexing of Spotlight will correct it:

(there is a bug in the program that generates this view)

You could also download OmniDiskSweeper and Grand Perspective (both free) Internet and open them. They will show all your files and respective sizes. Transfer to a HARD drive external files don't want on your Mac or remove them.

Don't forget to empty the trash. Then only the space is allocated additional data.

Ciao.
