The good thing, apart from Mac and Aperture problems, I’m having great vacations in the amazon region…
I have two questions.
How can I access this data:
/.MobileBackups/Computer/2013-12-12-234419/Volume/Users/estebanulmi/.Trash/Aperture Library Esteban Ulmi.aplibrary/Thumbnails/7%8SGjrSScGtekJEq0Yn4A/.AP.Thumbnails
If I can access, can I just delete it?

I have back upped all, but these are not my best days since I’m on Mac and Aperture.
Thursday night, a day before we flew to 3 week vacation my new mac retina 15 showed only a blinking question mark when starting up, seems something with the HD is very bad.
Ok, I took my old and slow MBP from 2011 that I was going to sell.
Finder says 429 GB used of 500 GB
With right-click, information it says only 309 GB used.
So it should have plenty of space for my aperture library but copying the library I get the message “not enough space on HD”. Analyzing with iDefrag it shows, that the HD is heavily fragmented. Running with iDefrag, it works all fine and seems to clean up a lot during around 12 hours, but then interups the process with the message
Unable to defragment: There was a problem accessing your volume and iDefrag cannot continue. The file iDefrag was working on was … (see above)
Now I would like to just delete this data.
If you have other tips, I apreciate a lot. Thanks, Esteban
Have you tried emptying the trash can in Finder? If you have an existing Aperture Library on the older system, open it and see if the Trash in the Library has stuff in it. If so, you can empty the Library Trash which will move that stuff to the Finder Trash. Then empty the Finder trash to really remove it from the disk. See if those two things help you free up that space.

Hi Walter, thanks for your response. I’ve had emptied the trash, but your notes brought me to the right path. I’m sure, “local snapshots” from time machine are the problem.

I checked and I have 119 GB used for backup on my 500 GB HD. How that happend? No idea. I just want to delete that and then all should be fine.
Thanks, Esteban
That’s a good find. Well done!
