Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
Okay. I have a MacBook Pro, 13 inch, mid 2014, running Mojave. I have about 350 GB of free space on my Mac. I am trying to install Windows through Boot Camp, but the Boot Camp installer tells me that I don't have enough space.
Where do I go from here? Thanks!

Run
sudo tmutil deletelocalsnapshots 2018-10-17-100213
and repeat for the remains entries. Check the output of the listlocalsnapshots command. If you do not see any entries, re-run BCA and try to install Windows.

Can you post the output of
sudo fsck_apfs -n -l /dev/rdisk1
from macOS Terminal?
That did it! I no longer have the insufficient space warning in BCA, and I can proceed to install Windows.
Thanks!
Well, not really.
Now, I am stuck at "partitioning disk". BCA has sat there for hours. New issue, I know.
Well, I solved my problem. I had been trying to install a 128 GB partition for Windows. I tried a 124 GB one and the partitioning worked as expected. Weird!
Excellent. Please remember to backup macOS, Windows and create a Windows System Restore point.
