For iOS 11+ simulator you should long press the app icon :) Before iOS 11: hold alt, then press the touch pad.
To delete individual, available, simulators it's easier to do so through Xcode. Go to Window > Devices and simulators, then select the Simulators tab. You can right-click on any simulator and select 'delete' to get rid of it.
Press and hold the Option (⌥) key, or click and hold any app until the apps jiggle. Click Delete button next to the app that you want to delete, then click Delete to confirm. The app is deleted immediately. Apps that don't show either didn't come from the App Store or are required by your Mac.
Or, on the home screen of the simulator, uninstall the app in the same way you would on a physical device, by pressing and holding on the application icon until an 'x' appears in the top left, and press the 'x', and select 'Delete' from the alert view. This will clear all data associated with a single app.
On MacOS Mojave 10.14.4 and on other MacOS as well the folder has changed and now the app is in the following location:
~/Library/Containers/com.yourcompany.yourapp/
For Big Sur the location is changed to a devices folder location:
~/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/{device_uuid}/data/Containers/Data/Application/

As playitgreen mentioned in one of the comments, the way to delete data relating to your OSX app is by removing the folder/.storedata file from:
~/Library/Application Support/<YOUR OSX APP BUNDLE NAME>/
for example:
~/Library/Application Support/com.yourcompany.yourapp/
