In Xcode, go to Window > Devices and Simulators in the menu bar (or press Shift+Cmd+2), then select the Simulators tab in the sidebar to open the list of simulators. Here you can select and delete simulators.

This is how I always did it. Why would the alternative involve going into safe mode? Pretty sure I've manually deleted those files before too.

Can’t you just ask claude to remove it?

"Claude, that thing they just said."

Name checks out.

Sure if you've fried your brain so much you're incapable of doing anything at all for yourself.

It's not about brain. Time is limited. If you chase all these little things you die - death by a thousand cuts.

Chasing maximum productivity in an attempt to outrun time sounds a lot worse if you ask me.

That's one way to twist it. What I'm intending to say is that you offload tedious bullshit to AI agents so you can focus on stuff you enjoy and live your life. And for people that like doing things like changing xcode settings (more than time with their kids) there is nobody stopping them from doing that.

Somehow people already had time with their kids before Claude. And before computers. Enjoying life is not a technology problem.

Time to do what? Watch more Netflix, doomscroll, procrastinate?

Don’t fool yourself, we’re not exactly curing cancer.

I’d rather solve a tech puzzle by hand.

When I read things like this all I can imagine is a farmer responding in a similar fashion to people talking about using tractors.

It would be more accurate to describe it as farmers renting out their fields and no longer practicing farming, so they forget how to farm.

People should really know how to delete sims, but there's a ton of obscure Xcode nonsense that in the "old days" people would blindly trust Stackoverflow answers or even blogs to fix. If Xcode is a tractor, it's the old thing you whack with a wrench and say "come on Bessie" to make it temporarily work again, not something most devs really understand.

I just don’t have enough time for that.

I don’t have enough tokens for that so I have to do it for myself.

You don’t have enough tokens for time pressure?
