Xcode Taking Up Too Much Space?

Xcode can quietly consume tens of gigabytes through build data, simulator runtimes, archives, device support files, and caches.

Free Mac scan

Run the free Mac scan before deleting.

The Mac scan reads storage metadata locally, then shows the largest visible buckets and the files that need an AI delete / confirm / protect judgment.

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
