Since you can't play with the samples unless they're in a program, I would assign all samples you don't want to purge to a program. I'm pretty sure that's the only way, but someone else can correct me if I'm wrong.
Just get in the habit of immediately assigning samples to a pad in a program. You can get it done pretty fast. Maybe load all samples into a program & have that be the "sample holder". Create new program(s) to load samples you're actually using in the sequence. If you do it like this you can purge & you would just delete the "sample holder" program once done with your beat or whatever.
Too be honest I don't do it this way (use a sample holder), I just always have my samples in programs & if I move a sample to a different program I just delete it from whatever program I'm not using it in (or I leave it if I'm feelin lazy, my memory cards are filled with duplicates).
