Not saying it is your issue, but if you do use Time Machine, have it enabled all the time and you are not always connected to your Time Machine backup disk then Time Machine will continue to make those backups except it does them to your local disk. Because of this you will end up with time machine snapshots and you can get rid of them using the tmutil command that was referenced in the post.
In order to do so, see for example [1].
In earlier macOS versions you could disable the local time machine snapshots, but I seem to recall that that no longer works (but I might be wrong on that)
