Xcode-Cleanup-Script

My tiny Macbook Air was hungry for disk space and there were more than 18GB of unused files for xcode caching and application supports. So I wrote a shell script to cleanup those files. For files to be deleted and their usage, check this blog (http://blog.favo.org/post/31649090293/xcode-5-places-to-save-some-disk-space).

Files to be removed
~/Library/Developer/Xcode/Archives/*
~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/*
~/Library/Developer/Xcode/iOS DeviceSupport/*
~/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/?/Applications
~/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/?/tmp/ghostlyIcons.*
~/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/?/tmp/gridImages.*
~/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/?/tmp/iconImages.*
~/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/?/tmp/iconLabels_gray.*

? : Version of iOS Simulator

Usage

./xcode_cleanup.sh

xcode_cleanup_script.sh
