purgeable

Able to clear

Purgeable describes something that can be purged—removed, cleared out, or eliminated.

In computing, purgeable files or memory can be deleted when space is needed: The system automatically removes purgeable data to free up storage.

The term appears in technical contexts where selective deletion is built into a system's design.
