If everything is working ok now, simply cut the wires and place a wire nut on the end of each one.
If something is not working, you can safely pigtail the two purples together with one wire nut and the two whites together with one wire nut.
DO NOT connect them all together because two of them are probably hot and two are probably neutral. A voltmeter will confirm the presence of voltage.
Sounds good. I will test in the morning and let you know what happens. I will start by putting a wire nut on the purples and one on the whites. Thank you.
