False insufficient-disk-space alert
Solution 1:
There are probably local snapshots on the data partition which is not accounted for in About My Mac > Storage
. Use df -h
or diskutil apfs list
to view the actual disk space.
To list all Time Machine local snapshots, use tmutil listlocalsnapshots /
or diskutil apfs snapshots /
(much slower).
This command will delete all snapshots (in most cases):
tmutil thinlocalsnapshots / 9999999999999 4
