Hi, ashleyfromburlington !


In reality your system is not really taking up that space. Please see the following resource :


About Time Machine local snapshots


This system is completely automatic. If, for whatever reason, your system should need storage space for one of your files, the space will be reclaimed automatically. If you wish to be more proactive, the instructions at that link will guide through manually reclaiming the space.


I hope this helps you, and good luck !
