How do I clear my Xcode simulator?

Go to Window -> Devices and Simulators . This will open a new window with all the devices you use in Xcode. At the top, tap on Simulators and you'll see a list on the left-side. From there, find the simulator you want to delete and Cntl - click (or right-click) and select Delete .


You can also do it with the keyboard shortcut shown under the simulator menu bar (Hardware-> Home).

The shortcut is ++H, but you need to hit H twice in a row for it to simulate the double press that shows the apps.


For iOS 7 & above:

  • shift+command+H twice to simulate the double tap of home button
  • swipe your app's screenshot upward to close it

You'll see screenshots representing the apps suspended on your device - those screenshots respond to touch events. Swiping is the gesture you'll make to "fling" the screenshot off of the screen. Note that on machines where your mouse is intended to represent your finger, you'll click and swipe as if it is your finger tapping and making the gesture.


On the new iPhone X, the simulator was having issues with the mouse/finger gesture.

You can do a long press with the mouse and a close icon will appear. You can use the swipe up gesture as well to close the app.

close app on simulator


I had a difficult time in finding a way in XCode 7.2, but finally I had found one. First press Shift+Command+ H twice. This will open up all the apps that are currently open.

Swipe left/right to the app you actually want to close. Just Swipe Up using the Touchpad while Holding the App would close the app.


Window / Show Device Bezels

And now you can see the real device, so double tap on HOME button and kill you app
