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,

Turn off Time Machine's automatic backups. That's the only way to do it.
Local snapshots affects to the overall SSD lifespan.
There is no evidence of that, and Time Machine's local snapshots have little influence on the millions of write / erase cycles that occur just in a normal course of using a Mac.
Apple has many years of using solid state memory, in hundreds of millions of devices. There have yet to be any widespread reports of life-limited failures.
Do as you please though.
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
Only Real way is to Type
tmutil listlocalsnapshotdates / |grep 20|while read f; do tmutil deletelocalsnapshots $f; done
