Mac OS should now have removed all the Purgeable space from the drive. When the Terminal window command ends with the message “No space left on device,” the disk is full, and mission accomplished. Just leave it there, because if you close it, it will reappear after a while. During the creation of the file, you will get a lot of warning messages that the disk is full. It will continue to grow, first at a fast pace, but as the disk get’s close too full, it will become slower and slower. The command will create a file called stupidfile.crap in your Home directory and fill it with zeros. So enter the following into the Terminal window:

What we need to do is to start making a file that will grow until the disk is full. Open the Terminal application in Applications/Utilities.

I deleted parallel and the virtual windows to free space but macOS didn't free up the space until I followed the method bellow from a link That link and I regained 130 gb Am I wrong or should I file a bug? Or maybe is this fixed a Big Sur?

I think this is a bug – that Time Machine local backups can use such a huge amount of space with absolutely zero visibility. That may or may not have made the problem worse.Īnyhow, thanks very much to Teddy for the tmutil tip. Some of them may have been left dangling because I did not want to save them and force quit. During the last few months, I have created a half dozen or so screencast videos using Screenflow, which is an ( excellent) document-based app. So it looks like the space used by Time Machine and the space used by 'purgeable' are different issues.īy the way, think I know how I got so much in Time Machine local backups. After doing this, I have 159 GB available, 73.33 GB purgeable and the installer says I have 86 GB available and it is ready to go. Side note: Before doing this I had 89 GB available, 73.33 GB purgeable and the installer said I had only 16 GB available and needed 34 GB more. Snapshots for volume group containing disk /: So instead I did what it implied I needed to do:Ĭode Block bash Air2:~ jk$ sudo tmutil deletelocalsnapshots /ĭeleted 2 Time Machine local snapshots for volume group containing disk '/'Ĭode Block bash Air2:~ jk$ tmutil listlocalsnapshots / Teddy's second command failed:Ĭode Block bash Air2:~ jk$ sudo tmutil deletelocalsnapshots -002518.local Type sudo tmutil deletelocalsnapshots -002010 (substitution the ID presented before)įor me, using macOS 10.15.6 beta on a MacBook Air, the answer by was close, but the actual example was simpler. You should be presented with something like this .-002010 (the number will be different) That that does not work try deleting it manually in the terminal. Wait a few minutes to allow the local snapshots to be deleted. Or choose Apple menu  > System Preferences, then click Time Machine.ĭeselect “Back Up Automatically” or click the Off/On switch, depending on what you see in Time Machine preferences. Open Time Machine preferences from the Time Machine menu in the menu bar. 'If you want to delete local snapshots manually, turn off Time Machine temporarily: (This is the issue I faced when installing)

Are you using Time Machine, If so you may have local snapshots of them store locally on your Mac.
