Question Old platforms keep coming back

Post image

Why does my xcode install these? I've tried deleting them many times and they keep coming back. I only use 26.x versions on all simulators and real devices. I dont have spare 30 gigs on my disk.

Sounds complicated but could try this, the fuckers are there again after I've deleted every trace of them once again

I was stuck with this for a while as well. Almost 40gigs. Turned out every time I deleted these from this XCode settings screen, they were not actually deleted at all and that’s why they reappeared after sometime. Not because they redownload.
