Question about hard drive storage

I have a 250 GB hard drive in my MacBook Pro with 47 GB free. I just deleted about 25 GB from my drive and emptied my trash, but I don't see a corresponding decrease in the reported amount of space that's free in About this Mac. Why?

MacBook Pro 13″, OS X 10.11

Do you use Time Machine for backing up? If so, that’s why – TM keeps local snapshots.
