It seems odd that he acknowledges the existence of Time Machine local snapshots but doesn't mention deleting the local snapshots manually. Using `tmutil listlocalsnapshots` and `tmutil deletelocalsnapshots` will actually free up space. I had this experience recently when my local storage was at 99% and simple `rm` wasn't freeing up any space. Once I deleted the local snapshot, 100s of GB were freed. As a side node, Time Machine has been pretty garbage lately. I back up to a local Synology NAS and letting it run automatically will just spin with `connecting to backup disk` (or some such message), but running manually works just fine.
