Xcode Taking Up Too Much Space?
Xcode can quietly consume tens of gigabytes through build data, simulator runtimes, archives, device support files, and caches.
Usually Safe To Clean
- DerivedData after closing Xcode
- Old unavailable simulator devices
- Old package/build cache through normal tool commands
Review First
- Xcode Archives used for shipped apps or symbolication
- Simulator runtimes needed by active projects
- Device support files if you still test on older iOS devices
