Hello everyone,
I am completely new to mac and i am really loving it. The only thing that i can't understand is why my internal disk (since i have time capsule) is being so used by backup files and how can i fix it.
I am attaching a image for you to understand what i am saying.
As you can see there is a huge 37.62GB of backup files into my HD. Can anyone help me?
Thank you!

How many iOS devices (iPhones, iPads, etc.) do you have? Are you backing them all up with iTunes?
Go to iTunes->Preferences, check the Devices tab, and see what you have listed there. If you're backing them up to iCloud (VERIFY THIS FIRST!!!!) then you could remove the iTunes backups.
Hello William,
Thank you for your help.
No devices in the list. I never backup up my devices at this computer because everything i need sinces from icloud.
Any hint?
I never knew it had that storage breakdown. What it considers "backups" is probably Time Machine backups. Look around for a folder labeled "Backups.backupdb". I recommend using FindAnyFile (free download) to do this since it will search absolutely everywhere on the hard drive in case some glitch has caused this folder to appear somewhere.
Hello d00dbro ,
Thank you for your answer.
I found it and there are several backups there.
Why would this be there (with backups from today) if my time machine says the last backup was yesterday?
Can i delete it?
Regards,

You don't have a problem, and you don't need to fix anything. Please leave it alone.
Backups are consuming my internal disk
