Is there a way I can retrieve through some bash command the path to the Xcode DerivedData folder?
usually it is something like
/Users/ThisGuy/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/*
and I can replace it with
/Users/$USER/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/*
but this doesn't guarantee that the path to the derived data location is actually this one (the user may have changed it to a relative or a custom one)

Another one here is Opening Derived Data folder to access you project binaries or to do any thing else. Either you should know the path to Derived data folder and go to Finder Cmd + Shift + G and then enter the path. Or you have to go to Xcode preferences -> Location Tab click on arrow in front of Derived Data path.
Delete Derived Data Choose 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.
You could get the value for key IDECustomDerivedDataLocation from user defaults.
defaults read com.apple.dt.Xcode.plist IDECustomDerivedDataLocation
If the line returns
The domain/default pair of (com.apple.dt.Xcode.plist, IDECustomDerivedDataLocation) does not exist
it's the default path ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/ otherwise the custom path.
