[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1792926, member: 46727"] By the way folks..... Someone asked why doesn't running Time Machine remove those local snapshots when your Time Machine drive is attached? Apparently there is a glitch in the process when your drive (SSD) is formatted to APFS and you are running High Sierra. I recommend not running Time Machine at all if you currently have an SSD as your primary boot drive and you are running High Sierra. Instead run Carbon Copy Cloner and leave the option to create snapshots off, but leave the option to keep deleted files archived on. That will give you basically the same thing as Time Machine with a lot less headache. Hopefully Apple will get this fixed before the next version of macOS. I understand they (Apple) are also working on getting APFS to work with Fusion drives. [/QUOTE]
