MacOS – Other data taking up to much space on mac, can’t figure out what this other data is

dropboxflash-memoryhard drivemacosstorage

I found out my company's dropbox was syncing everything to my mac, I had selective sync on but somehow this changed. I then uninstalled dropbox to stop this syncing as choosing selective sync didn't seem to help. I then deleted my dropbox folder, and emptied trash can. But i still see 291 in other data being used up but that dropbox folder is gone. I have a feeling that is the dropbox data and didn't properly erase.

I suggest that you get OmniDiskSweeper.app and run it on your main drive. it will list the items and their size on the disk sorted by size. You can look for items that take up a lot of disk space and go down the directory tree from there to find the large memory users. Its a free app.
