Local Time Machine Backup deleter

This is a shell script to manage and delete all local Time Machine backups that get created automatically on macOS versions -ge High Sierra 10.13.

This will not affect your regular Time Machine backups to an external hard drive, nor will it wipe any data on your Mac. It will only delete those locally generated backups or "snapshots" to free up some precious storage space.

Clone and run using bash backup_deleter.sh in your Mac's Terminal.app.

I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE(S) THIS MAY CAUSE TO YOU OR YOUR LIFE!

Feel free to contribute by forking this repo!
