Q: How do I delete "backups" from my hard drive?
I've gone in and manually deleted the purple ""Backups" files from my hard drive - yet they remain.
I turned off the time machine.
Currently, the "backups" are taking over 50% of my storage. I deleted all of them but somehow they remain.
Please help!
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Yosemite (10.10.2), FCP X

Here are explanations of Time Machine Snapshots or backups on your MBP storage:

They can be ignored because they will automatically be deleted by the OSX if additional space is needed for other data. It really is not a probl;em.
Ciao.
