I've been trying to install Xcode 7 tonight with no real luck.
I'm running a Mac that generally has about 12 GB spare. I tried installing the Xcode 7.1 beta on a separate drive however it insists on installing all of the simulators on the primary hard drive, and it runs out of space.
So perhaps it's time to wipe Xcode and reinstall clean. This mac has a primary drive that started as Snow Leopard on a white macbook back in 2009. It's been backed up and updated regularly, and I wonder if this has left me with a lot of old cruft.
Acording to DaisyDisk I have:
/Applications/Xcode -> 3gb (Xcode 6)
/HD/Library/Developer -> 15.6gb
/HD/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator -> 13gb
/HD/Users/me/Library/Developer -> 69.9gb - why?
/HD/Users/me/Library/Developer/Xcode -> 53gb
/HD/Users/me/Library/Developer/Shared -> 8.7gb
/HD/Users/me/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator -> 8.1gb
/HD/Users/me/Library/Developer/Xcode/iOS DeviceSupport -> 46.7gb - devices all the way back to 5.0.1
/HD/Users/me/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator -> 1.8gb
Really, do we need 4, or 5 folders of simulators, amassing almost 70gb of disk space?
Can I be brutal and remove:
/HD/Users/me/Library/Developer
/HD/Library/Developer
and then reinstall Xcode from scratch? will this actually give some space back?
Any help would be appreciated.
