Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When creating a backup on your mac of your iPhone, mac checks the free space and views purgeable space as used space. The purgeable space can grow until 100GB or more causing full disk issues.

Describe the solution you'd like
Implement the following to delete it:

sudo tmutil deletelocalsnapshots $(sudo tmutil listlocalsnapshots / | tail -n +2)
