Answer 4

Many different solutions for this problem. Most of them work as well. Another shortcut seems to be added as well:

Shift + alt + command ⌘ + K

Will ask you to:

Are you sure you want to clean the build folder for “MyProject”?

This will delete all of the products and intermediate files in the build folder.

In most cases this would be enough to solve your problems.

UPDATE

As of Xcode 9 you'll be able to access the Derived Data folder by navigating to

File -> Project Settings

or if you use a Workspace:

File -> Workspace Settings

And press the arrow behind the path:

Answer 5

For Xcode Version 8.2 (8C38), you can remove the projects completely (project name in Xcode, programs, data, etc.) one by one by doing the following: [Note: the instructions are not for just remove the project names from the Welcome Window]

Launch the Xocde and wait until the Welcome window is displayed. The projects will be shown on the right hand side (see below) Xcode Welcome Window

Right click the project you want to remove completely and a pop window [Show in Folder] jumps out; selec it to find out where is the project in the [Finder] (see below) Find the project folder

Right click the project folder in the Finder to find it’s path through [Get Info]; use path in the Info window to go to the parent folder, and go to there[Locate the project folder path] (see below)

Right click the Project Folder (e.g. DemoProject01) and Porject file (DemoProject01.xcodeproj) and select [Move to Trash] ; you will see that (a) the folder in finder is removed AND (b) the Project in the Xcode Welcome Window’s Project List is removed.

Answer 6

(Working in Xcode 11)

You can go to File > Workspace Settings if you are in a workspace environment or File > Project Settings for a regular project environment.

Then click over the little grey arrow under Derived data section and select your project folder to delete it.
