I installed macOS Catalina 10.15 in my 2018 MacBook Air when it was released without a problem. When I tried to install the update to 10.15.1 it failed due to insufficient disk space. Going into "About This Mac", the Storage tab indicates that I have a huge 70.4 GB of "other" which isn't anything I have installed, I can't find anything or any large files that would use this amount of space and need to find a way to recover the space.
I also have a 2017 MacBook Pro with macOS 10.15 and, although I haven't tried to update this, it has similarly built up 56 GB of "other" storage. A MacMini that I have updated to 10.15.1 has a more reasonable "other" figure of 16.8GB and all three computers have essentially the same files and apps installed in them.
Any help to resolve this would be appreciated.
