Hard Drive nearly Full

[SteveF1]

I have a 500Gb Hardrive, what i do not understand is that I have 109.97Gb Audio, 93.49 Movies, 24.82Gb Photos, 16.72Gb Apps and 177.48 of Other.
What on earth is Other.
I do not store many documents so for the life of me i don't know were 177.48 of Other has come from.

Thanks,
