How to remove old IOS simulators from Mac PCs

For acccessing the files you must be on ROOT access

sudo su

Then access the list of IOS Simulators

cd /Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Volumes/

When running ls you wont understand since the versions have mixed names

ls result

ls
iOS_23A8464	iOS_23C54

Enter the first one

cd iOS_23A8464

Now go to this folder where we can see the actually simulator runtime name.

cd Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Profiles/Runtimes/

Running ls again you should see the version in plain text

iOS 26.0.simruntime

If it isn't the old version you are looking for get back to

cd /Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Volumes/

And select another one.
