Hey

I've been having this issue since installing GM, I now have the live one. How do I get rid of purgeable data? - I've attached a screen shot below of what I mean on a new install of Sierra on this computer

Before this, I'd tried to create a large file through terminal and deleting it through terminal but that ended up making the purgeable space even bigger. It got to the point where I was trying to install bootcamp again and it was saying there wasn't enough space!.
