'Xcode 13 UI Previews folder takes too much space
I have a 250Gb M1 Mac Mini and it is starting to run out of disk space recently, it seems like the UI Previews is the main culprit which takes roughly 165GB space alone and is increasing each day. Tried to delete the folder using Dev Cleaner but was told not able to do so. Tried to google the issue but only found this thread with only a few replies. It makes me wonder is it just me or everyone has this issue?

I have the same problem. For me, DevCleaner is complaining about permissions, so I had to go to /Users/Me/Library/Developer/Xcode/UserData/Previews/Simulator\ Devices/ directory and manually delete simulator files.
Edit: Save space by
xcrun simctl delete unavailable
xcrun simctl erase all
- Delete
/Users/username/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator
folder.
