Xcode is one of the best Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) for writing, testing, and deploying Apple apps. Creating applications for Mac and iOS devices is a lot easier with Xcode. Despite being a super app development tool with several benefits, Xcode has one huge downside: it’s a data hog.
The (latest version of the) app is about 11GB on the App Store. During usage, Xcode also creates a lot of temporary cache files that consume an insane amount of storage space. In the long run, these temp files may cause the app (and your Mac) to freeze or malfunction during usage.
