### AI overview

This tutorial explains why Xcode can consume substantial disk space, especially when multiple AI agents use separate Git worktrees. It introduces an open-source Xcode Disk Cleanup Agent Skill that searches common storage locations and requires explicit approval before deleting anything.

### Source excerpt

Xcode disk space can grow rapidly without you noticing. Especially these days, with multiple agents turning multiple worktrees into silent disk space occupiers. Where I used to only focus on deleting old Simulators every now and then, I'm now also actively managing worktrees and derived data folders. There are great Mac apps and open-source projects ... -> The post How to free up Xcode disk space safely with an AI Agent appeared first on SwiftLee.
