The macOS handles this function automatically— sooner if the macOS needs the space, other wise typically in a day or two of normal use.
"could be your files which can be easily replaced from the cloud [iCloud] or application installers that can be re-downloaded. Purgeable doesn't mean unused and unnecessary. It means the data can be purged because it can be recreated if needed. Local Time Machine snapshots are a good example of purgeable space. They are useful, but not necessary."—Barney-15E
