Free mac cache cleaner not in app store update#

If I run into any weird issues that might result, I will post it here, but so far nothing.ДЄlso, I highly recommend OmniDiskSweeper, which is a free program and is how I figured this out (among other memory-related issues in the past)ДЄdding to answer of directly downloading the version you want of Xcode from More Downloads for Apple Developers by signing in with your Apple ID.ДЇirst, delete Xcode application and then manually delete as much data as you can of Xcode located at ~/Developers. I use XCode A LOT so maybe error logs or usage logs built up.

It looked like simulators for XCode and other XCode related stuff. It did not seem important and all seemed XCode-related. I guess be careful because I am not sure what is in that directory. I then installed XCode directly off of the App Store and it works like a charm. That is half of the memory on my hard drive. I had to go into the Users//Library/ Developer and I deleted that directory, which I guess somehow saved XCode crap even though I deleted the application.

I had about 10GB of free space according to Disk Utility.Дeleting XCode (I had it prior but had to update it) and other applications brought me to 17-20GB. Downloading the XCode file and manually installing did not work because I still got the space/memory error. The answers above, such as rm hugefile did not work for me because I guess I had a legit memory issue. I then installed XCode off of the App Store and it worked like a charm. TL DR: Deleting XCode (~7GB) and then the folder Users//Library/Developer (~90GB) freed around 100GB.
