Hi,

How can I uninstall an old simulator, which was installed through "xCode->Preferences->Components->Simulators"?

What is the correct way to do that?

Thanks and Regards,

Stefan

Thanks for the link. This was exactly what I was looking for. 🙂

Let me summarize my steps (based on the link provided), just in case the provided link will not work.

Delete simulator refences for xCode:

Delete the particular simulator runtime references (*.simruntime) in the folder: /Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Profiles/Runtimes

Delete simulator images from the hard disk:

Delete the particular simulator images (*.dmg) in the folder: ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.dt.Xcode/Downloads

Which version Xcode and to what end? Do you want to just remove configurations from the pull-down menu or remove the meat/actual simulator files from your hard drive? Why?
