Pruning an olive tree

I got mixed up with pruning times of my apple tree and olive tree. Consequently did not cut back my olive tree in spring early summer thinking it should be Nov (did my apple tree by mistake and consequently no apples)
My question is can I prune the olive tree a bit now? or is it too late and should I just leave it till next spring?
I am not bothered about growing olives it is too dense in the middle to grow fruit

I prune mine throughout the summer each time it touches the awning and often take of bits here and there that look wrong.
I did some heavy pruning one year in June/July and it had no ill effect
