Do you have the Time Machine enabled?
I also have this problem in Sierra. If my Time Machine HDD is not connected, it stores the backups locally.
I can only reclaim space if I disable the Time Machine and restart my mac.
- christoph 9y agoNope, Time Machine isn't enabled.
- vetinari 9y agoCheck the /cores directory, it is possible to waste a few tens of gigabytes there easily.
- ungzd 9y agoYes, this is likely the reason: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204015 https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204015, and maybe (due to bug or by design) these snapshots are enabled always, even if backup partition is not configured. > In macOS High Sierra, Time Machine stores snapshots on every APFS-formatted, all-flash storage device in your Mac or directly connected to your Mac. I'm curious how it's implemented? Does it use whole-filesystem snapshots? Some discussion: https://forums.developer.apple.com/thread/81171 https://forums.developer.apple.com/thread/81171
