Yosemite (40+ GB back up?)

[ksukhin]

I am seeing this 40GB back up on my disk drive and I am curious as to what it is and why it is taking up so much space? I am using time machine for my back ups so this is confusing for me. Can someone explain this.

Thanks

I came across an article on another site saying to run this command (sudo tumuli disablelocal) to disable the snapshots. However, instead of saying Backups, it is not part of "Others". How do I delete those snapshots off my SSD?
