After hitting the ceiling on my 256 GB SSD, I deleted around 20 GB to free up disk space. Unfortunately, almost every time I start the MacBook, it issues a warning, that the startup disk is almost full. Seemingly at random, checking the free disk space actually provides the 20 GB of free disk space but after a while it falls down to a few MB (!). I already tried disabling Time Machine's Local Snapshots:

sudo tmutil disablelocal

but that didn't help.

System Specs: El Capitan - 10.11.6 on a late 2013 MacBook Pro

Deleting files but, disk space doesn't stay free - not due to time machine
