How do you safely clean Xcode and node_modules files with DevBox Cleaner?

I often run out of disk space because of Xcode derived data, node_modules, caches, and other developer files. Has anyone used DevBox Cleaner for this?

I m especially interested in knowing which folders are safe to remove, whether it can detect duplicate or unnecessary files, and if there are any precautions to take before cleaning.

What’s taking up the most space on your development Mac?

Hey everyone!

While building DevBox Cleaner, I noticed that every developer s Mac seems to have a different storage culprit.

Mine was:

  • 63 GB of Xcode DerivedData

  • 20+ GB of node_modules

  • Old DeviceSupport files
