Xcode and Apple platforms

• DerivedData, build and source control caches
• iOS device support symbols and developer disk images
• Simulator devices and runtimes (under Worth a look)
• Archives, documentation cache and Interface Builder cache
• CocoaPods, Carthage and Swift package caches

Build folders, only when it's safe

Broom finds node_modules, target, .build and other build output across your disk, but only offers a folder when its project file still sits next to it: package.json for node_modules, Cargo.toml for target. A folder that happens to be called target isn't touched. Run npm install or cargo build and it comes back.

Package managers and toolchains

Download caches for Homebrew, npm, pnpm, Yarn, Bun, pip, uv, Poetry, Conda, Cargo and rustup, Go, Gradle, Maven, Gem and Bundler, Composer, NuGet, Dart, Deno, Zig and Nix, plus version managers like nvm, pyenv and rbenv.

Editors, containers and the rest

• VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf, VSCodium and Zed caches, plus workspace state for project folders you've deleted
• JetBrains IDEs and Android Studio, the Android SDK and Gradle caches
• Docker BuildX cache, Lima, Kubernetes and Terraform plugin caches
• Puppeteer browsers, Prisma engines, ESLint, Prettier, TypeScript, Vite, Webpack, Turbo and Parcel caches

Check sizes before you install anything

Want to know how much you'd get back first? Our developer cache size checker gives you the Terminal commands, and the guides on clearing DerivedData and deleting node_modules cover the manual route.
