I've installed Xcode 4.5, and since I write apps for fun, I don't intend to support older iOS versions, and to save space on a 500 GB iMac, is there anyway to delete it?

    Removing the iOS 5 SDK will save a lot more space than removing the simulator itself. – Till Sep 29 '12 at 15:34

    please also delete the corresponding .dmg file in ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.dt.Xcode/Downloads to prevent Xcode from re-installing the same package again. – Hlung Oct 03 '13 at 08:29
