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

Hi! Uras 👋
I’m the maker of DevBox Cleaner.
DevBox Cleaner is designed specifically for developer-related files like Xcode DerivedData, DeviceSupport, Simulators, node_modules, CocoaPods, Homebrew, npm, and more.
Quick Actions show exactly how much space each category is using before you remove anything, so you always know what you’re cleaning.
Duplicate file detection isn’t available yet, but it’s something we’re actively working on. We know it’s a feature many developers want, and it’s on our roadmap.
The current focus is helping developers safely reclaim space from development tools without hunting through Finder or remembering terminal commands.
If there are specific folders or cleanup features you’d like to see, I’d love to hear your feedback!
