Spray it well with a mixture of 1 gallon white vinegar, 1/2-1 cup of salt. I usually also add a squirt of Dawn liquid dishwashing soap to keep the mixture on the moe upright weeds longer, but it's not necessary in your case since the purslane is ground hugging. You may need to apply moe than once, a few days apart, then keep it at bay with a good dose of the mixtue when and if you see any regrowth.

This is what I use on weeds:

I spray straight vinegar on anything unwanted in the garden. However, you have to be very targeted because it will kill whatever it comes into contact with...but it does work.

Take a 1 gallon plastic milk jug, rinse well. remove the cap and cut out the bottom, the entire bottom. Put straight vinegar in a spray bottle. Use the milk jug by putting it over the weed to be sprayed, the sides of the jug will protect other garden plants. Now spray the vinegar on the weed you isolated through the mouth of the jug.

Featured snippet from the web

The best method for eliminating purslane is by hand pulling. Typically, a single purslane plant will cover a large area, so you can easily clear large areas affected by purslane weed with only a little effort. Herbicide can be used on these plants as well but work best while the plants are still young.Jun 22, 2020

Chickens love to eat purslane!

Remember that every leaf can grow a new plant. Always be sure to gather up ALL the broken pieces.

Pull it by hand if you want to get rid of it permanently.

We manage purslane in my garden. It does provide gound cover but it is also very good to eat. The younger plants are best. They get eaten plain in salads and sauteed. It is like a forgotten vegetable. But I also understand why you want to get rid of it too.

Soil solarization, the practice of covering moist soil with a clear plastic sheet for 4 to 6 weeks during the summer months, can kill common purslane and its seed. Solarization is done before gardens and ornamental areas are planted.

Purslane is something you want to control, not get rid of. It is good for you and your garden. https://steemit.com/gardening/@spalser/purslane-good-for-your-garden-plants-and-your-health
