Free up more space on Hard Drive

So, I already deleted some files that I don't need to free up space. As I did, though, the "backups" amount of storage got larger. So, how do I delete the backups to those files that I already deleted?

MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)

When you understand what they are, you really do not have to delete these "backups':

Ciao.


If they really irritate you, use these directions to turn them off:

Alright, it worked, thank you guys. That was quite helpful. Ill make sure I remember how to do this. Like I said normally it wouldn't bother me but lately my computer has been lagging and there's like absolutely nothing but music on my laptop. So, when I see only 50 some GB of space left and 107 GB of backups wasting space, thats when I gotta start caring about it, so again thank you.
