Time Machine Snapshots
Open the Terminal in the Utilities folder and enter or paste the appropriate command line. Press RETURN and enter your admin password when prompted. It will not be echoed. Press RETURN again.
To turn them ON: sudo tmutil enablelocal
To turn them OFF: sudo tmutil disablelocal
Note that turning them OFF will also delete all existing snapshots.
Since the backups will be deleted automatically should space be required, there is no mandatory need to turn off SnapShots.

They seem to be purged after a short period, so check the disk size in a few hours or so.
