Second - check for local snapshots tmutil listlocalsnapshots / On more recent OS (2021 and later), open Disk Utility and select view APFS snapshots (command - shift - S) to see the space used by snapshots. Your 40 GB of space that could have been 40 GB of documents will show up as grey colored System once the process completes. One easy way to check space is to open the system information app (or look in storage portion of about this Mac) and give it several minutes to catalog all the space into buckets.
Here are some details on snapshots from 2019. If you run low on disk space, they take no space locally and exist in the cloud only, downloading on demand. You should also not be deleting the stub files in iCloud. Just like a backup where the point is to go get a copy of a file you deleted after the delete, snapshots show the contents of a disk in the past and allow you to grab a copy of a past file while that snapshot exists. Wait a few minutes for the local snapshots to delete.On the assumption that you have APFS file system, macOS 10.14 Mojave, and local snapshots - the system might take some time to purge the space.Open Time Machine Preferences from the Time Machine menu in the menu bar on your Mac.To disable local snapshots in Time Machine and remove them from your internal storage: It will also stop Time Machine from creating new snapshots.
You can use a Terminal command to disable Time Machine's local snapshot feature, which will delete all of the local snapshots on your internal hard drive. However, if you really need to delete those snapshots (which I don't recommend unless you desperately need that space), there is a way to purge local snapshots from your internal hard drive. That being said, everything doesn't always work correctly, and you may find yourself out of storage space on your internal hard drive, and those snapshot backups won't go away. The program will then continue to replace the old snapshot with a new one until you free up space on your Mac's internal storage, at which point it will go back to saving weekly snapshots as long as space permits. If you then, say, download some large program and your internal hard drive plummets to below 10% (or less than 5GB of internal storage), Time Machine will delete all local snapshots except the most recent. If everything is working correctly, Time Machine will automatically delete the oldest snapshot backups as soon as your internal hard drive has less than 20% of storage space left. First, let me preface this by saying that you shouldn't worry about those backups and the space they are taking up.
