It's got worse. 97GB, although dropeed to 95GB while I was typing this reply.So if you reboot after that how does the space used look?
tmutil listlocalsnapshotdates / |grep 20|while read f; do tmutil deletelocalsnapshots $f; done
I'm really running out of ideas. Do you still see that error message when you run Disk Utility first aid?Hi Weaselboy, I've run that and restarted. System is now at 93GB. Do you think it is a failing drive and, if so, is there anything I can do to fix it? Thank you so much for all your help so far.

Hi All, I am very new to this forum. I found this thread. I too have a system file of 285 GB. I do not use TM, I use CCC. Any help please?

and manually following these steps. In the former case, I got the error Error: unknown indexing state.
, while in the latter nothing happened. Also, I don't have TimeMachine back-ups turned on.You bet...Thank you very much for your reply.
I am currently traveling ( !! ) but I will get one. Would you mind describing more in detail what I am supposed to do?
Thank you!
When the system gets interrupted by network or power outage, the computer gets confused. My only suggestion is to erase the disk (backup your data first) and reinstall the OSX. Afterwards restore your data.Hi There,
I'm facing similar issue in macOS Mojave 10.14.6. The issue started occurring when I tried to download the latest version of macOS . Sometimes the download got interrupted due to network issues and I believe the disk space is getting filled with the same.
This is what I found after running the suggested command here:-

The problem I'm facing is I am not able to delete the private/var files. The error is
“C” can’t be modified or deleted because it’s required by macOS.
Can you please suggest.
