Additionally, Package files can take up excessive space in your iMovie Library. Deleting these files will help you regain storage capacity. Unneeded project files can make your iMovie Library swell to enormous sizes. You should start by deleting excess render files from the application. 
Render files can take up a lot of space in iMovie. iMovie builds up many files through regular usage, and eventually, you might see the “ iMovie not enough disk space” warning. Method 3: Clear out the iMovie Library Package Files. Method 2: Remove iMovie Project Files from iMovie Library. 
What Causes the “iMovie not enough disk space” error on Mac?. But then again, if time is more important to you, spending $9.99 is probably less than 2 cups of coffee you would spend in the week. In this case, I could wait for Time Machine to complete its backup and clear up the purgeable space, but that will take a couple of hours to complete. But this becomes a problem for me since I need about 36 GB of free disk space to install a game. So when I recently deleted 50-60 GB of space and since I still have about 30+GB of space left, macOS will decide to “keep” it temporarily until I back it up with Time Machine. I also suspect that any recent deletes will just be “kept” as snapshots of your disk. So if you do not regularly back up your Mac, the snapshots tend to accumulate and it can be quite sizeable after a while. Most of the time, the purgeable space is made up of local time machine snapshots. You could run a time machine backup and see if macOS would clear up the purgeable space. But what it I *really* don’t want to spend any money at all? If you just want to do this once, you could perhaps download and get a trial license to clear it for you as well. So perhaps its a life-hack to just rely on apps like DaisyDisk to do the job for you with a single click. While DaisyDisk does not necessarily share in detail what it looks out for since that’s their IP, the blog post does reveal that there’s quite a number of places where it would seek out files that are safe to clear, such as temporary files, caches, etc. DaisyDisk blogged on this topic here which I would recommend you to read too. And in order to clear the purgeable space, you need to know where macOS “hides” them. You would usually not face this problem as macOS generally does a pretty good job clearing up the purgeable space when you need the space. 
Can I delete this myself without paying for an app?
