Kind of a way of saying that someone went away to 'cool down' from a fight or relax from something strenuous.
"Where is Carly?"
"In her room. Probably letting off some steam from earlier."
"What happened?"
"Carly and Earl had a fight."
I think this is what you meant by that expression. Hope this helped!
