The projects page seems to be disappeared from Xcode 8. I used this page for deleting the derived data.
Any idea how can I delete derived data from within Xcode 8?

Delete Derived DataChoose Window -> Organizer. Select the Projects tab. Select your project on the left. Next to the Derived Data line, there click the Delete button.
The place where a large number of files were created this way is the DerivedData folder. Its size can be from a few hundred MB to dozens of GB. Luckily, you're fine with deleting files in this folder. There will be no consequences to this action and the benefit you will gain is more space on your Mac.
DerivedData is a folder located in ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData by default. It's the location where Xcode stores all kinds of intermediate build results, generated indexes, etc. DerivedData location can be configured in Xcode preferences (Locations tab).
(Working in Xcode 11 and 12)
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.
