I bought a MacBook Pro a couple of days ago and have nearly 20gb of Purgeable space on the drive. How do I get rid of it?
I've seen various solutions to it but none of them seem to apply to Ventura!

Can anyone help please?

Can you show us a screenshot of where you are seeing this? I can't imagine a brand new MBP having that..

When you setup the MBP, did you migrate your data? How big is the drive on the MBP?

Don't sweat the purgeable. If the OS needs it, it will use it. Leave it to the OS.
