Mac: Need help finding and deleting huge .sparsebundle

Robos A Go Go

I noticed I was running out of space on my Macbook, so I decided to run JDiskReport to help find things I don't need. Shortly after, I found that, under Users>.username is something called username.sparsebundle that's 124.1 GB in size. Needless to say, getting rid of this would help me out a great deal.

Unfortunately, I can't seem to find this sparsebundle, much less delete it. I looked to google for some help with this matter, but most references to sparsebundles connect the problem with Time Capsule, which I don't use. I did, however, find out that the fact that I'm using FileVault is likely the cause of the problem. Course, when I try to turn off Filevault, I get a message saying I need to free up 126.6 GB of space.

So, what the hell can I do to get rid of this sparsebundle thing?

Firstly, FileVault images are mounted as your home directory - in a very real way, they are your home directory. Take a look at the numbers JDiskReport produces, and check that they match the physical hardware. FileVault has some quirks that could be throwing your numbers here - I'm not using it, so don't know how it presents to such tools.
Secondly, how large is your home directory? The bundle should be being compacted each time you logout. I'm not sure if there's any compression applied - I don't think there would be, but it is possible.
If compaction isn't happening, then hdiutil compact should force it - but this is not something I would advise. I'd check home directory size first. It'll look like duplication, but it really isn't.

Also, to clarify, JDiskReport is telling you, for instance, that the file is, for instance Users/.james/james.sparsebundle ?

JDisk's number don't match the hardware specs, so I think JDisk was just throwing my numbers off and nothing unusual is actually happening here. Thanks for the help.
