Remember to delete all snapshots before un-installing. Otherwise the snapshots continue to occupy space on your system. To delete all snapshots, run the application, select all snapshots from the list (CTRL+A) and click the _Delete_ button on the toolbar. This will delete all snapshots and remove the _/timeshift_ folder in the root directory.
