## What is it?

Debug symbols Xcode saves for macOS versions when you debug on another Mac (for example a remote or test machine), one folder per version and build. Folders for versions you no longer target stay behind.

## What happens if you delete it?

Xcode copies the symbols again when it next needs them for that macOS version. Nothing else is lost.

## How to remove it properly

Quit Xcode, open `~/Library/Developer/Xcode/macOS DeviceSupport` with Go › Go to Folder… in Finder, and move older version folders to the Trash, keeping the newest one.
