About:
DevCleaner is a utility designed to help developers reclaim valuable disk space by cleaning various caches and derived data generated by Xcode. It targets temporary files, device support files, and simulator data that accumulate over time and are often safe to remove. This tool provides a user-friendly interface to identify and remove these non-essential files, which are not typically cleared by standard system maintenance.

Key Features:

Scans for Xcode derived data, device support archives, and simulator caches
Provides a safe, user-controlled way to select and delete specific cache types
Clear and detailed breakdown of potential space savings before cleaning
Native macOS application with a simple and intuitive interface

Use Cases:

Freeing up gigabytes of disk space on a developer machine running low on storage
Cleaning up old iOS device support files that are no longer needed
Removing outdated Xcode simulator versions to streamline development environments

Alternatives:

CleanMyMac X – A comprehensive system cleaner that includes Xcode cache removal as one of many features, but is a paid commercial product.
Manual Deletion – Using terminal commands to remove files from ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/Directories, which is effective but less user-friendly and carries a higher risk of error.
