SSD full with backup files

341GB of my 500GB SSD is filled with backup files, which are not deleted automatically after time capsule sync. Photo's app is already asking to save the original photo's on iCloud.

MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014), OS X El Capitan (10.11.3), null

There is a terminal command to turn it off. You will see it in the article.

Photos is set to always store your photos in icloud .. that is its default configuration.
