Practical answers
Frequently asked questions.
Need help with Dev Cleanup Utility? Include the app name and your device when contacting us.
Contact supportWhich Xcode files can it clean?
The app covers DerivedData, archives, iOS DeviceSupport, CoreSimulator data, Xcode caches and iOS backups. Review the selected category before running cleanup.
Can I inspect a folder before cleaning it?
Yes. Open a target folder in Finder from the cleanup card before deciding whether to remove its contents.
What is the difference between Safe, Balanced and Deep?
They are presets for different cleanup scopes. Cards show Safe, Moderate or Aggressive risk levels so you can review the selected actions. Deep is a Premium feature.
Does cleanup always permanently delete files?
File cleanup supports moving items to the Trash. CoreSimulator actions use Apple’s simctl tool, so review the selected simulator mode before running those actions.
Why might the next Xcode build take longer?
After cached or generated Xcode data is removed, Xcode may need to rebuild it or index the project again. The first build or indexing pass can therefore take longer.
Why does an operation ask for Full Disk Access?
Some categories, including iOS backups, require Full Disk Access. Grant it in macOS settings if you want the app to clean those protected locations.
Can I keep recent DerivedData or the latest DeviceSupport?
Premium adds a DerivedData retention policy for recent projects or days, an option to preserve the latest iOS DeviceSupport version and advanced CoreSimulator modes.
Can I review previous cleanups?
Yes. The action log records cleanup history. Statistics include potential reclaim, total deleted, sessions, the last cleanup and the last scan.
