Apple, Since when is it ok to take up 200gb to do incremental backups locally because you can't reach a remote disk...and then, as you approach only 20gb free, start trashing data? After trying to use time machine, we are going to other backup solutions, because this is the last time I want to lose data in my music setting and now have to figure out how to recover my massive iPhoto library, because you think there's no space left, after 2 backups couldn't reach a remove volume and backed up to the same disk time machine snapshots.
You really need to get it together, and test your software as USERS experience it, not as your autobot testing does. Data loss is the result of low space conditions CAUSE by your clunky, slow and unreliable Time Machine software.
Listen, don't remove, stop, and be aware that you are doing the worst thing a computer can do: KILL CUSTOMERS DATA because of bad software you sell people on using. There is no reason why, the backup should take priority over customers active production data!
Instead, why don't you tell the customer when you are below 100gb that local snapshots can't be taken to preserve the machine's integrity?
So many of Apple's OS problems could be fixed through common sense design. This is very important for apple's future in computing!

STILL BROKEN. I am on Big Sur, and have removed all security barriers and pop up blockers on Safari. I have seen this before, BUTTON PRESSES to new pages DOESN'T WORK on safari for some reason. Doesn't work for Netsuite sending of an email, DOESN'T work on APPLE'S OWN https://appstoreconnect.apple.com/WebObjects/iTunesConnect.woa/ra/gettingstarted after logging in. The only one that works on this page for me is the Artists. ALL THE MONEY IN THE WORLD, and Apple still doesn't get that quality require real IN HOUSE quality assurance. Having people wait for 1 month, 2 mont's 5 months for their "automated testing" to figure stuff out, (sometimes bugs last for years! I still have the same Apple Music bug in my car where it always starts playing the first song on my alphabetical list when I get in my car! Anyone?)
I am SHOCKED that Apple is so successful but still can't get their basic system, software and services to run correctly. I will keep on posting the same things about lack of QA and testing because it's UNBELIEVABLY embarrassing for you to have such horrible software with such an incredible amount of resources!
