Xcode 4 "/Developer" directory is 12 GB: can it be cleaned up?

My Developer file is 12 GB.

I am wondering if this is the normal size or could I save space? If so how?

Did I leave behing any file from older projects that could delete?

Thanks.

Solution

  • I assume you're talking about the /Developer directory in the root of your hard drive? That could have grown as a result of various installations. Here's what I suggest: run the uninstall script, then delete the /Developer directory. You'll have a clean slate.

    Then download Xcode 4.3 from the Mac App Store, which actually contains all the developer files inside the application itself. So you'll never need to bother with the Developer folder again.
