How to troubleshoot deleting a file disk space without releasing the Mac

Method/Step

First of all, I do not know if it is not me here to meet: Delete the file (after cleaning out the trash) or use the RM-RF direct command line Delete, disk space is not released.

Df-h or with the about this Mac look, disk space has not changed. The use of INODE nodes has not changed. Later there is no way, check to find out, found that there is a root directory. Mobilebackups, occupy a huge space. This is a local backup of time machine, as found in the documentation.

The problem is: I've closed time machine, but I'm still going to add something here. Suspicion is closing time machine is not completely closed? Anyway, I forgot how I closed it.

Solution, open the terminal, execute the following instructions:

sudo tmutil disablelocal

Enter password confirmation, restart, this folder is invited to go, the space will also be normal release.
