Normally I completely empty my trash folder, but you can just delete the DerivedData folder. After removing the folder from trash you can start Xcode again. When you build the app it will recreate either the DerivedData folder. Deleting derived data can be annoying, it also seems to be something that depends on the project. I have been working on multiple projects and it seems that the smaller projects don't really have these issues as often as the larger projects.
A cache stores data so programs using the cache can run faster, without needing to recompute data in the cache. Caches are always transient, meaning that the data they contain are expected to be temporary. Deleting cached data has no adverse effect because the program that created the cache can regenerate it at any time. But for larger caches, you might experience a delay while the cache rebuilds. Deleting caches is a common strategy to reclaim space.
Xcode can regenerate anything it still needs at a later date. Two other caches of note are those of Carthage and CocoaPods. These dependency managers help you to manage third-party libraries that you may be using in your apps. CocoaPods has a special command you can use to clear its cache. To clear the CocoaPods cache, run this in the terminal:.
Using the dedicated cache clean command is better than manually deleting a folder. This is because if CocoaPods changes where it stores its cache, the command will still work for the new location. You need to be cautious when clearing certain folders, like your archives. Afterward, it creates a new, blank script. At the beginning of the file is a shebang , which tells your computer how to execute the script.
The shebang always has to be the first line of the script. Next, save the file. To make it executable, you need to run a command in Terminal. The script executes, printing out status reports as it cleans out derived data, device support, simulators and caches. Great job!

As an additional beneficial option, you can also delete all app builds on all of your simulators by running the following once you've quit running any simulators xcrun simctl erase all.
This doesn't clear the same stuff as derivate data obviously, but if you're trying to free up space this is another great option, as both take up quite a bit for old app builds. You could also make this a terminal shortcut.
See here — Honey. But this also deletes the folder itself! From the adjacent drop-down menu choose the script you just saved in step 1. Other shortcuts Open in terminal Open project folder Happy coding. Upload image. Submit Preview Dismiss. Log in Create account.
