Purgeable files can be like cached movies stored in iTunes, language files and more. There is no harm in deleting these files, and in bonus, you will get free space on your MacBook. Moving forward to delete purgeable space in macOS Mojave.
Here’s how I free up space on my Mac. I have a large collection of music on my Mac. There were many duplicate songs which I didn’t really need. I used a duplicate file remover and deleted them all. There are also many ebooks on my computer. Many of them are scanned PDFs which are big in size. To make them occupy less space, I compressed them. There are also other ways to free up space such as uninstalling apps that you don’t need.
