Can I delete old Xcode archives?
Short answer: Yes, for retired builds. Archives contain debug symbols needed to read crash reports, so keep those for versions still in use. Delete via Xcode's Organizer.
Yes, but think about crash reports first. An archive holds the built app and its debug symbols (dSYMs), which you need to make sense of crash reports from that version. Keep archives for versions still in use; delete ones for long-retired builds.
Delete them in Xcode's Organizer → Archives, or remove them from ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/Archives. If your symbols are uploaded to a crash-reporting service, local archives matter less.
