Freeing up space · Local snapshots and held space

How do I open the Local Snapshots window?

Short answer: Open More → Local Snapshots…, tap Manage snapshots after a Free Up Space run, or use the button beside Space held by backups in What's Using Space.

There are a few ways in:

  • More → Local Snapshots… — always available.
  • The Manage snapshots chip in the Want more space? panel after a Free Up Space run.
  • The button beside Space held by backups in What's Using Space.

The window is resizable and has a Refresh button to re-check your snapshots and Time Machine destination. See What is the Local Snapshots manager?
