[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1459777, member: 24160"] No, it can't be deleted. Unless maybe you "want" to delete the operating system. [B]Everything[/B] that is not in one of the listed categories is in the "other" category. All your system files, documents, spread sheets, preferences, mail, contacts and anything else you can think of that is not music, movies, photos and apps. See [URL="http://pondini.org/OSX/LionStorage.html"]here[/URL] for a longer list. Not to say there wouldn't be some things in that "other" category that can be deleted, but you better know what it is you're deleting. [/QUOTE]
