Big Sur | Can't delete item from Time Machine backup

OS: Big Sur;

local fs: apfs;

before entering to tm:

  1. $ sudo -s
  2. # for snapshot in $(tmutil listlocalsnapshotdates | grep -v :); do sudo tmutil deletelocalsnapshots $snapshot; done

Be entering to tm and watch, that we can't delete any item. If we ctrl+press to any item, that we watch the open, restore, copy etc items but only not "delete" one.

Be checking:

# tmutil listlocalsnapshots /

Snapshots for disk /:

#


Maybe must I restart a service of tm itself?

Can I do it without a machine restart?
