Disable local snapshots in High Sierra with APFS

I want to disable this. I do not want any local snapshots in my ssd. Is this possible or will I have to disable time machine completely?

Regards,

Hi Sandy,

Can you please provide the location of the monster file to delete?

I have the same issue, no more space, but I can't find the files.

Thanks

Matt
