So I downloaded epic games launcher and installed fortnite on my computer. I didn't like it so I proceeded to uninstall everything. I even went to users/shared and deleted the 70 + gig folder and it didn't even make one difference. After deleting it I emptied the trash and it emptied instantly. HOW?! It was 70+ gigs! Yet all the files and folders for epic games and fortnite are gone. What am I doing wrong here?

Not sure I understand your question.

You deleted everything, the trash emptied instantly, and now everything is gone?

Is that what you wanted?

No I deleted everything Fortnite related and it didn't show as I removed anything from my computer. I did run Onyx and deleted local snapshots from time machine and that was the issue. My hard drive now shows I have 70+ more gigs of room. Found an old post on here where someone had a similar issue and Time Machine snapshots were the issue.

This might be worth try - click on the about this mac in the apple menu

then click on storage and then click reduce clutter / review files - it should show all the large files
