Description
Every so often, we as developers need to clean up old simulators, archives, etc. because we run out of disk space. It would be beneficial to provide this utility for the users of the app, so they can easily do this. Many devs forget to do this, or have to search a few times a year.
There are many other apps, gists, etc and do this type of thing - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/devcleaner-for-xcode/id1388020431?mt=12 is a good example.
This is a large and complex feature, so if you're interested in contributing to it, please comment below so that we can work out the details first.
