I'm sure you are not the only one noticed that the “System” storage section on your Mac is occasionally quite large and can take up a notable amount of storage capacity, sometimes it can even take it up to 2/3 of your storage space! So is there is any proper way to clean up all of these junk stuff caused by Time Machine Backups? Here's how to do that.
- Open Terminal on your Mac
- Type sudo tmutil listlocalsnapshots /
- Once you hit enter, it will show all the local snapshots that are consuming the storage
- For example: com.apple.TimeMachine.2018-07-07-113254
- To delete that snapshot, type tmutil deletelocalsnapshots 2018-07-07-113254
- And you can use the command to delete all of the snapshots
