The above steps from xcode 10 are invalid, please use the following steps:

xcrun simctl shutdown all
shutdown all devices

xcrun simctl list devices|grep -v "unavailable"|grep -Eo "[0-9A-F\-]{36}"
list all available devices

xcrun simctl list devices|grep -v "unavailable"|grep -Eo "[0-9A-F\-]{36}"|xargs xcrun simctl delete delete all devices(note: this is a single line)

more detail xcrun simctl help

Answer 2

In Xcode, go to Window -> Devices (shortcut is Cmd+!)

In the left pane, delete all the superfluous simulator devices (select in the left pane and press delete on keyboard)

Usually these are the ones that have no OS (showing iOS: n/a).

This usually happens when you try and copy older simulator versions directly in the SDK folders rather than installing them from Xcode -> Preferences.
