Never used Xcode as anything other than a dependency for other dev stuff and in that case it's huge, takes ages to install, doesn't clean itself after installation and easily fills 50-100 gigabytes with useless "simulators" that has no relevance for most.

If you tap on the "i" next to the "Developer", you will be given option to delete caches, indexes, iOS device support(which can be huge).

It’s very aesthetically pleasing though, if you’ll ever find it. Welcome to the wonder— Apple land.

- BossingAround 3y agoInteresting, based on this comment, I deleted ~20GB of simulators (~/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator). Thanks for that!
- kossTKR 3y agoI can recommend the app GrandPerspective to find files like these sitting around.
