Q: Purgeble items??
I ran First Aid before and after installing Sierra. I had/have no problems with it. But after rebooting to run First Aid the second time under Memory is says 413.4 MB Purgeble. What am I supposed to purge?? I ran etrecheck, which says my system is excellent. Firestorm crashed because I didn't close it properly. I am not a techie and don't know what to purge or if i should mess with it. I have plenty of memory left.

In macOS Sierra, “Purgeable” content appears when you've turned on Optimize Mac Storage. It's storage space that your Mac can automatically make available when storage space is needed. Files marked as purgeable can always be downloaded again on demand.
