How do you remove old Simulators
As it takes up space not used
(Thanks @Ali Yiğit Taş)
I found iOS 15.2.simruntime in /Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Profiles/Runtimes
But I am running 15.4

1"DevCleaner for Xcode".app might be of help here, since new Xcode add its iOS support for its perticular version (and watchOS, etc), but never delete the old ones. – Larme Apr 30 '22 at 10:34

In Xcode, Window> Devices and Simulators> Simulators. You can delete simulators here that you don't want.
Also, can you try to check /Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Profiles/Runtimes

1Thanks, but I am not sure it is the same - it is the type of devices not the actual simulators. You can see I have both simulators 15.2 & 15.4? – Chris G. Apr 30 '22 at 09:34

Hmm, in there is: iOS 15.2.simruntime. Strange as I do have 15.4 running. I recently upgraded to Xcode Version 13.3.1 (13E500a)... – Chris G. Apr 30 '22 at 10:20

1I see the latest versions are not in that list you have posted. Maybe the latest versions are located in a different folder I think. – Ali Yiğit Taş Apr 30 '22 at 10:36

Simply go to
Xcode > Menu > Window > Devices & Simulators > Simulators
Click on simulator and check iOS version. If you want to delete that simulator, right click on simulator name and click delete in popup dialog.
That's it.

Go to Xcode -> Settings... -> Platforms to select and then delete old simulators using the [-] button or right-clicking:
