[bug] Incorrect free space on Disk component

[zkvvoob]

Make sure there's no open issue for the same bug before submit.

Describe the Bug As far as I can tell, the Disk indicator shows a wrong value for free space (or for any other type of metric, for that matter), compared to the Storage section in "About This Mac".

Expected Behavior I would hope that the two match.

Is Related to a Crash? No

I know what you are seeing. Open up disk utility, and see the free space number on there and it will make sense. For some reason, the About This Mac tab's disk space is greater than the disk space in disk utility. After doing some research, this might have something to do with macOS versions after Catalina creating purgeable files that can be cleaned manually.

I see! Thank you very much for this hint. Do you know how these purgeable files can actually be purged?
