How to delete blank archived Xcode files (swift4)


Since I have been developing in Xcode I have not figured out how to delete the files I have archived.These files have nothing in them when clicked on but still appear. I want to clean up some space on my hard drive.

Solution

  • The apps owned by your account will appear whether or not there is any data.

    You can delete the archives if there are any by clicking on the archive in question and -> "show in finder" and delete that way.

    You cannot remove the app listings on the left, as you are signed in with an account that is associated with them.

    Far better to clear space is to purge the ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData folder regularly
