Empty space on Macintosh HD drive Below is a screenshot for Macintosh HD drive storage.



It shows that I have 82.47 GB storage for "Other". How to delete and free up this space?

I checked ~/Downloads and ~/Desktop, both are less than 2 GB.

I also emptied out ~/Library/Cache and ~/Library/Cache folders.

I am running OS X 10.11.2.
I suggest you to use the DaisyDisk application (a free trial is also available).

This app help you to find out how you are using the space available and so you can identify what is occupying a large amount of space in your HD.
