That is how much space you want to recover in the process, and the is a number (1-4) of how quickly you want the space recovered. That will leave you with some recent snapshots but still recover some diskspace, for that, use this command: $ tmutil thinlocalsnapshots You can do them individually using: $ tmutil deletelocalsnapshots īut it’s easier to just purge the snapshots and specify how many you many want to get rid of.

All this happens automatically in the background for you.īut, if you’ve just done some house cleaning, or you’ve come back from using a lot of disk space and want to free it up, you’ll need to get rid of those old snapshots. These are normally managed automatically using a combination of the date/age of the backup and the space they are using compared to how much disk space you need. In particular, check the list of local snapshots: $ tmutil listlocalsnapshots / The key is to look at your local backups, and the easiest method for that is the tmutil command. Even more so when you think you’ve deleted the files that *were* using up space. Freeing up 200-400GB of disk space, and then realizing I no longer have the space available. I noticed this because I’ve been on vacation and created some rather large files from all the photos I’ve been taking. Alternatively, select Apple menu> System preferences then click Time Machine. The new APFS creates snapshots during local Time Machine backups, and this can mean, especially if you’be been dealing with some large files, that when you delete them and empty the wastebasket, you don’t get your disk space. Go to Time Machine menu then open Time Machine preferences. Having updating to macOS High Sierra I’ve mostly been impressed, except about one thing, disk space usage.
